The Al Maerifa Public Seminar Series hosts scholars who present community seminars to promote knowledge on topics central to Qatar’s pursuit of a knowledge-based economy. These seminars are centered around Qatar’s grand challenges and research pursuits, including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, energy, water, food security and infrastructure, among other topics. The seminars are designed for a general, nontechnical audience, and participants are invited to ask questions at the end of the presentation.
