HH Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of Qatar Foundation (QF), attended the opening of the Arab Global Scholars (AGS) Annual Gathering on Sunday.
In her remarks at the gathering, HH Sheikha Moza said, "Today we held the annual Arab Global Scholars gathering - a natural continuation of the Arab Expatriate Scientists Conference which we launched in 2006. I was delighted to meet this diverse community of scientists, innovators, researchers, research institutes, and industry partners, with whom we aim to strengthen our partnerships. Today, AGS members may be based anywhere in the world, as through technology we explore new and different methods of collaboration, making it easier for everyone to contribute to ensuring this region is stronger and better able to overcome the challenges of the 21st century.”
Held at Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s Minaretein building, the gathering marks the latest evolution of QF’s initiative to nurture a contemporary renaissance of Arab science and research. The initiative seeks to reconnect scholars and intellectuals with roots in the Arab world to contribute positively to the region’s development and long-term future. —Hanane Djoua
