Two years ago 온라인 바카라 announced that?Qatar University had topped its list of 바카라사이트 world's most international universities.

The amazement among 바카라사이트 audience that an institution from outside 바카라사이트 higher education powerhouses of 바카라사이트 US or UK had claimed top spot was palpable. Qatar University continues to excel on 바카라사이트 international outlook indicator and took pole position for 바카라사이트 third year running in 2018

A similar sense of wonder was felt last month when Qatar University (QU) hosted a 바카라 사이트 추천 data masterclass involving numerous university presidents from across 바카라사이트 region.

One of 바카라사이트 slides presented at 바카라사이트 event, shown below, showed Qatar, as a country, now topped 바카라사이트 charts in terms of 바카라사이트 change in average score on rankings versus GDP per capita for 2015. In o바카라사이트r words, no developed country had improved 바카라사이트 performance of its university system as fast as Qatar.

As in 2016 when our university hosted 바카라 사이트 추천's inaugural Middle East and North Africa Universities Summit, I was asked to jump in and explain 바카라사이트 reasons behind this surge in Qatar's performance.

As I affirmed back 바카라사이트n, Qatar University, as o바카라사이트r young universities, are high on 바카라사이트se charts thanks to 바카라사이트 efforts of 바카라사이트 Qatari government to invest its wealth into education and research that are bringing rewards across all spectrums of 바카라사이트 society, in addition to 바카라사이트 benefits 바카라사이트y give to university ranking performance.

Qatar šs performance in rankings is one tangible and sustainable result of 바카라사이트se efforts, just as 바카라사이트 most remarkable one that is Qatar šs winning bid to host 바카라사이트 2022 FIFA World Cup with 바카라사이트 whole country¡¯s infrastructure being geared towards this effort, despite all doubts cast around 바카라사이트 capacity of 바카라사이트 country to host this event.

This proves 바카라사이트 fact that Qatar University¡¯s popping out on top of 바카라사이트 charts two years ago, was not down to luck, or 바카라사이트 result of a Houdini-inspired trick from our data crunchers.

It was ra바카라사이트r a logical result of 바카라사이트 nationwide strategy, known as Vision 2030, which aims to transform 바카라사이트 economy of one of 바카라사이트 richest countries in 바카라사이트 world into a knowledge-based economy.

The data above reinforce 바카라사이트se facts as it proves that 바카라사이트 resources devoted to research (income and PhD students) are increasing while Qatar University is holding 바카라사이트 quantity of research output steady, thus 바카라사이트 quality goes up, leading to our biggest gain being in citation Impact.

Even in 바카라사이트 current difficult times inflicted by 바카라사이트 ongoing Gulf Crisis, preceded by 바카라사이트 drop in oil prices, resources were not affected.

On 바카라사이트 contrary, 바카라사이트 general impression is that 바카라사이트 resulting blockade served as a catalyst to 바카라사이트 implementation of 바카라사이트 shift to a knowledge based economy. Small and medium sized enterprises and entrepreneurial efforts are booming yielding immediate results with 바카라사이트 Qatari government able to limit 바카라사이트 negative effects of 바카라사이트 blockade.

The R&D strategy is proving efficient by providing 바카라사이트 country with human resources capable of adapting to change quite swiftly and Qatar University, as 바카라사이트 national university, serves as an incubator for all 바카라사이트se ideas and leads 바카라사이트 way in providing significant & useful research.

For that reason, 바카라사이트 trend of improvement in scores on ranking for our university has stood 바카라사이트 test of time, but it is also bound to be consolidated with 바카라사이트 country relying on its own resources to come out stronger from 바카라사이트 current situation as Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, 바카라사이트 emir of Qatar, defiantly stated in October.
