With the vision to enrich health and wellness in Qatar and the Gulf region, the University of Calgary in Qatar (UCQ) is at the forefront of health promotion and disease prevention. While educating future nursing leaders of Qatar, we will engage individuals, families, communities, and key stakeholders in education and research activities designed to enhance individuals, family, and community capacity to attain, maintain and improve health.

With the aim of building Qatar’s knowledge-based society, the Qatar National Research Strategy (QNRS) 2014’s vision is that “Qatar will be an international center for research and development excellence and innovation.” UCQ nursing students, graduates, and faculty have been actively engaged in research training and activities that contribute to QNRS’s vision and the health and wellness of the people of Qatar.
