Qatar's national vision is to achieve a sustainable, diversified economy and focus on the national challenges by enhancing its knowledge & education. In this context, Qatar University Young Scientists Center (QUYSC), in collaboration with the office of Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies (VPRGS), has launched the "National Science Research Promotion Program (NSPP).
NSPP is intended to promote the interests of national youths towards the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) stream. It facilitates the national youth to enrich their research capacity using the "Learning by Doing approach" and "Hands-On experience". This program will ensure an excellent opportunity for national high-school students and Qatar University’s undergraduate students to work collectively under the mentorship of highly qualified faculty members and researchers at Qatar University.
This is an internal grant program. The STEM project proposals are submitted by the faculty members/ researchers. The submitted proposals are reviewed and the exemplary project proposals are selected for the grant. Each proposal from the mentors allows one undergraduate student of QU and two national high school students to work on the project.
