Focus on Sustainability

Sustainability is an important theme that intersects disciplines at CMU-Q. Sustainability-related projects have included the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics, improving how solar panels are autonomously cleaned and maintained, how greenhouse plants are cared for, and how marine ecosystems are monitored. Faculty members are also delving into diverse environmental and conservation questions, like how to reimagine Qatar’s rural landscapes through the lenses of design, policy, and cultural heritage, how to improve urban water conservation using vertical greenwalls, and how knowledge and understanding can shape public attitudes toward biodiversity and conservation.
