Foundation: 2013
Mission: To enable the deployment of innovative solutions to address Qatar’s national energy and water security grand challenges, and tackle climate change at national, regional and international levels in a sustainable manner through education, and research and development. Assist and expedite the introduction of off-grid and grid-integrated photovoltaics and energy storage technologies by providing scientific and engineering solutions for the deployment of residential, commercial and utility-scale solar power in Qatar. Enhance the sustainability of water resources by providing scientific and technological solutions for energy-efficient and low-cost water desalination, co-produced and wastewater treatment and reuse, and Qatar’s aquifer recharge. Catalyze the creation of an industrial ecosystem for energy and water security through local and international partnerships. Enhance research culture in Qatar and build a pool of future leaders and innovators in energy and water in Qatar.
Vision: To be the leader in Qatar in the fields of environment and energy, and become the science and technology reference in these fields at national, regional and international levels.
The following data gives a quick reading on the scientific performance in the last years. The research ranking refers to the volume, impact and quality of the institution's research output. The innovation ranking is calculated on the number of patent applications of the institution and the citations that its research output receives from patents. Finally, the societal ranking is based on the number of pages of the institution's website and the number of backlinks and mentions from social networks.
The result of the evaluation of the institution can be compared to obtain a view of the country, the region to which it belongs and the institutions of the world, placing it in their respective positions.
We have divided the scientific output of the institution into 19 large areas of knowledge and the following table shows only the ranks in different territorial domains achieved by the institution in each of the areas. For an institution to have a presence in an area, it is necessary that it exceed in the last year a minimum output threshold equivalent to twice the percentage that this area represents in the world. If you need scientific indicators on these areas visit Scopus and/or SciVal.
| Area | World | Middle East | ARAB COUNTRIES | Qatar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chemistry | 1603rd | 41st | 23rd | 4th |
| Energy | 1442nd | 85th | 40th | 5th |
| Engineering + | 2342nd | 124th | 68th | 5th |
| Environmental Science | 438th | 9th | 4th | 1st |
These are the journals used by the institution's researchers to publish their work in the last year. The size of each circle represents the value of the SJR of the publication, and its spatial position represents its subject matter.
This visualizatión allows you to identify the knowledge areas where the institution has published, recognize the prestige of the scientific journals in which the institution knowledge has been published, and identify predominant scientific communities.
