Doha: UCL Qatar will present three papers at this year’s Qatar Foundation Annual Research Conference (ARC’18), to be held on March 19 and 20, at the Qatar National Convention Centre.
To address ARC’18’s central focus on how research can address Qatar’s current social and economic challenges, University College London in Qatar will be discussing the links between post-graduate education, academic research and the generation of economic and social value.
At the ARC’18 experts from the University will showcase how work experience placements during higher education, such as those provided by UCL Qatar, prepare the workforce of the future, as professional spaces in which students can apply theory and research techniques to practice in a ‘real world’ work environment.
Sam Evans, Director of UCL Qatar, said: “We are delighted to be taking part in ARC’18, and that three of our papers have been selected by the Qatar Foundation for oral presentation to delegates.”
UCL Qatar’s programme of presentations at ARC’18 include: Connecting theory to practice in postgraduate higher education. The case study of UCL Qatar students’ work placements, by Argyris Karapitsanis, Teaching Fellow in Museums, Heritage and Archaeology.
The Application of Qualitative Research Methods within a Qatari Context: Lessons Learned, by Waleed Serhan, Research Assistant.
