| The Masdar Institute - A Green University |
|
The Masdar Institute is the centerpiece of the Masdar Initiative, a landmark program announced in April 2006 by the government of Abu Dhabi to establish an entirely new economic sector dedicated to alternative and sustainable energy. Masdar is a highly-strategic initiative with primary objectives of: helping drive the economic diversification of Abu Dhabi; maintaining and expanding Abu Dhabi's position in evolving global energy markets; positioning Abu Dhabi as a developer of technology; and making a meaningful contribution towards sustainable human development.
The Masdar Institute is a private, not-for-profit, independent, research-driven institute developed with the support and cooperation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The Institute offers Masters and (eventually) PhD programs in science and engineering disciplines, with a focus on advanced energy and sustainable technologies. It welcomes and encourages applications from qualified local and international students and provides fellowships to talented students who meet its high admission standards. Its faculty is of the highest quality and the intent is to have the structure of its top administration similar to MIT's. This new Institute will establish linkages with the government and industry, both within the region and internationally, in order to move new knowledge to use in the form of innovative technologies and in the education of a wider audience.
Objectives:
Becoming a world-class institute offering cutting-edge research and high caliber graduate education. Facilitating Abu Dhabi's vision of establishing a UAE scientific and research culture. Driving technological advancement in renewable, alternative, and sustainable forms of energy contributing toward the world's effort on alternative sustainable energy. Contributing to the economic diversification of Abu Dhabi (the region). Making a meaningful contribution towards sustainable human development
Masdar Institute is the world's first postgraduate research university in science and engineering focusing on alternative energy and sustainability and in a self-contained green city to boot. With the global economy on edge and oil prices half what they were a year ago, the timing couldn't be better.
