Ibn Khaldon Centre for Humanities and Social Sciences is a Research Centre established in May 2018 by Qatar University. Its vision is to play a pioneering role in the Arab and Islamic world towards re-examining the theoretical orientations of the Social Sciences and the Humanities, with a view to becoming the sought platform and intellectual space for researchers and scientific initiatives in the region and beyond.
The Centre’s research agenda spans a range of substantive areas of importance, including the Social Sciences, the Humanities, Area Studies, and Security and Strategic Studies. Its core mission and mandate is to bridge the gap between the theoretical studies and actual needs of Muslim-Arab societies in collaboration with leading institutions and researchers (locally, regionally and internationally) who share the Center’s intellectual concerns.
