‘New HQ strong motivation to expand academic programmes’

Interview with Dean of HEC Paris in Qatar Dr Pablo Martin de Holan

Dr Pablo Martin de Holan, Dean of HEC Paris in Qatar, one of the partner universities of the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF), said the opening of the university’s new headquarters in Msheireb Downtown Doha is a strong motivation for further expansion in the provision of academic, short, and corporate programmes locally and regionally.

In an interview with Qatar News Agency, Dr Pablo said that taking the step of moving to this smart city and innovation centre, Msheireb, is for practical reasons, including a desire to emphasise the adoption of modern transformations without abandoning the long-standing cultural identity, where Msheireb brings together the legacy of the past and the modernity of the future, adding that new location also allows for an exceptional environment, close to the business community served by the university, and is suitable for student executives.

He appreciated the recent attendance of the Chairperson of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, the opening of the new building and the graduation ceremony of the 2020 and 2021 batches, and the continuous support provided by QF,
