Becoming a global player |
The 2017 WISE Summit
took place in Doha from
November 14-16, with
the theme ‘Co-Exist –
Co-Create: Learning
to Live and Work
Together’.
Former First Lady of the
United States, Michelle
Obama, attended WISE
in 2015.
In the last 22 years, QF has actively
worked to build stronger bonds with
the public to create an informed,
forward-thinking, and ambitious
society, and Qatar National Library
(QNL) is a key component for
making this happen. Recently,
QNL celebrated the soft opening
of its new building in Education
City. Designed by renowned Dutch
architect Rem Koolhaas, QNL
features state-of-the-art facilities
to give residents access to nearly
one million books, periodicals, and
special collections, including its
famed Heritage Collection.
Much has been accomplished and
yet there is always more to achieve
on behalf of the people of Qatar.
QF continues to make exciting
breakthroughs across its mission
areas at a national level and beyond.
