Education in Qatar<br />
Robert Baxter<br />
Advisor, Qatar Foundation<br />
Robert Baxter joined Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development in May 2004 as<br />
Director of Pubic Relations and Marketing, and became Communications Advisor to the Board of Directors in<br />
February 2006.<br />
Before joining Qatar Foundation he was Deputy Director of Communications and Head of Press and Public<br />
Relations at Queen’s University Belfast. This followed a long career as a journalist and manager at BBC World<br />
Service from 1980 until March 2001. In his last position with the organization he led the BBC’s Russian media monitoring team.<br />
Qatar Foundation was established in 1995 as a vehicle for educational and social reform. Its flagship project is Education City,<br />
a 1,000-ha campus on the outskirts of Doha that hosts a range of institutions linked by a commitment to excellence in education.<br />
These include branch campuses of five leading US universities.<br />
This complex coalition has a wide spectrum of stakeholders, all of whom are in a position to influence the Foundation’s primary<br />
mission of transforming Qatar into a 21st century knowledge-based society. They range from prospective students and their parents<br />
to international business leaders. The main challenge for the organisation’s professional communicators is to earn the understanding,<br />
approval and co-operation of all of these parties.<br />
