Qatar Environment and Energy
Research Institute (QEERI) from Carbon to Creativity www.qeeri.org.qa

To ensure sustainable development and management of Qatar’s energy and natural resources, preserving the quality of life of future generations and making
Qatar a leader in cutting- edge energy and environment research

To conduct and coordinate multidisciplinary research that will address critical national priorities in energy and the environment, by integrating knowledge of the environment, food, energy and water resources in ways appropriate for Qatar and the region.

QEERI Strategic Plan Overview (2011-2016)

Knowledge Creation 1
Conduct multidisciplinary and strategic research in the fields of energy and the environment, which are most critical for Qatar and establish an international reputation for research excellence
Solutions 2
Capacity Building 3
Develop new knowledge-based solutions that can be applied and commercialized to enable key national stakeholders to optimize the management and enhance the sustainable development of
Qatar’s hydrocarbon and natural resources
Develop a pool of Qatari and international scientists that can form an in-depth and diverse knowledge base in core research priority areas in energy and environment
Coordination &
Partnership 4
Coordinate national research efforts and forge strategic partnership with prominent international research entities in energy and environment for optimal impact and efficiency
