The website allows students from schools in Qatar to register scientific research projects with the aim of developing skills in scientific communication. Infocenter also participated in editing and optimizing videos for use on the web. Watch the videos on the website now!

Qatar STEAM Fair is a nationwide competition that welcomes students from secondary schools across Qatar. The competition encourages creativity with scientific inquiry and helps students develop the range of skills used in scientific communication. Apart from being recognized as national champions, the winners of Qatar STEAM Fair will also get a chance to represent Qatar at the renowned Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) in the United States.

Qatar STEAM Fair is held annually during March at Qatar National Convention Centre in collaboration with Qatar Foundation Research & Development (QF R&D), Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF) and Supreme Education Council (SEC).

This national competition aims to facilitate the research capabilities of Qatar’s youth, while engaging the local community and supporting the budding scientists who will be part of the next generation to lead Qatar into a knowledge-based economy.

With more than 80 research projects submitted to the inaugural Qatar STEAM Fair in 2015, participating teams or individuals will present their projects to a judging panel comprising industry experts over the course of two days. Those who participate will also be in with a chance to be among the winners who will receive up to QAR160,000 in prize money.

Presentations are evaluated based on design and methodology, execution, creativity and presentation. For more information, please click here.

Infocenter to provide film production services for SCH campaign

Supreme Council of Health

Infocenter teams up with Production and Beyond to provide various film production services, including a wardrobe stylist, assistant and logistics too!

Currently, the Supreme Council of Health is embarking on an ambitious program to enhance the wellness of the people of Qatar so that a vibrant, healthy, and productive society can be established for today and for the future. The essence of that program is ’Caring for the Future’.

Caring for the Future means promoting public health, encouraging healthy lifestyles, providing community-based primary care, and ensuring that, when needed, some of the world’s most advanced and highest quality care is available in tertiary(which is) medical facilities. These tertiary facilities will not only provide quality care but also are expected to be research leaders on the frontiers of science.

The SCH will oversee and regulate the medical marketplace, promoting high quality care through use of the latest information technology and support of a health care financing program that provides access to all while establishing incentives for good resource stewardship. The SCH will promote evidence- based policies that seek to improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and their families, and will measure change against established objectives to be certain progress is being achieved.
