The Qatar Stock Exchange and Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar (CMUQ) have entered into an agreement to promote future collaborations between the two organisations.
This is the third memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by the QSE with a national educational institution, as it had entered into similar pacts with the Qatar Finance and Business Academy, and College of Islamic Studies at Hamad Bin Khalifa University.
The latest MoU was signed by QSE CEO Rashid bin Ali al-Mansoori and Dean of CMUQ Ilker Baybars. They will work together to collaborate in the fields of education, scientific research and community development.
In addition, the agreement outlines the benefits of hosting joint conferences, seminars and specialised workshops to encourage students to volunteer in QSE initiatives and serve the local community.
The agreement will also see the training of bourse personnel through programmes that enhance professional, scientific, and investment awareness among the financial community in Qatar.
“This agreement comes within the framework of the role played by the QSE in achieving Qatar National Vision 2030 and the commitment of the QSE to continue what this vision is built upon starting from Qatari principles of openness to modernity, adopting new technologies to serve the goals of development and economic progress, and emphasising the role of the QSE in serving the local, regional and global community,” al-Mansoori said.
“CMUQ is very pleased to partner with the QSE during this period of exceptional growth and diversification of Qatar’s economy, and we look forward to our future collaborations in education and research,” Baybars said.
