Welcome
You are welcome here as we grow together in
Qatar Foundation.
We are excited to share an important update!
WLHE is transitioning to the Qatar Forum for Professional Engagement (QFPE)—a refreshed identity that reflects what you’ve told us you value most: meaningful community, professional engagement, and multiversity connection for faculty and staff at all levels.
Building community, advancing careers, and developing leadership have always been at the heart of our work and it remains our guiding focus as we move forward. The Qatar Forum for Professional Engagement brings together QF faculty and staff to create spaces for career and leadership development, mentorship, and community building. By nurturing inclusive pathways for growth and connection, we empower people at all levels to lead with purpose and help shape the future of higher education in Qatar.
Our purpose continues: creating spaces to learn, mentor, collaborate, and grow together across Education City.
(Brand refresh coming soon: stay tuned for our new look!)
