Attendees during the workshop.
Doha: University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST), supported by Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF), part of the Qatar Research, Development, and Innovation (QRDI) Council, hosted an international workshop on 3D printed catalysts in partnership with VITO Middle East, the local branch of VITO.
The event brought together local and international experts in the field to share their knowledge and experience, and to explore new opportunities for collaboration. Students of UDST also had the opportunity to attend, and it was the first time such an event has been held in Qatar, positioning UDST as a pioneer for this type of technology initiative.
“Hosting this workshop clearly shows our commitment to providing our students with the best possible education and preparing them for the future. It will also help our faculty members to stay updated with the latest tools and techniques in the field of engineering.
“We look forward to continuing our partnership with VITO and other industry leaders to equip our community with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed, not only in the area of 3D printed catalysts, but many other industrial technologies.” said Dr. Salem Al Naemi, President of UDST.
Dr. Parakalan Krishnamachari , Programme Manager, QNRF Programmes said: “Embracing innovation and research collaboration, the Qatar National Research Fund programs, part of the Qatar Research, Development, and Innovation (QRDI) Council, and University of Doha for Science and Technology are paving the way for a sustainable future by exploring the possibilities of 3D printed catalysts.
“The workshop brought together leading experts from academia and industry to discuss the latest developments and future directions in 3D printed catalysts. It also proved to be a great platform for students, faculty, and rest of the local research eco-system to interact with experts and gain valuable insights in the ever-evolving technological landscape.”
Innovation is a key principle at UDST, and the university is committed to providing students and faculty with opportunities to build their skills and prepare themselves for cutting-edge technologies.
The workshop was a valuable opportunity for students and faculty to learn from, and interact with, industry leaders and gain valuable insights into the use of 3D printed catalysts, with special focus on their application in the oil and gas sector.
3D printing is a revolutionary form of manufacturing solid objects from digital models.
