(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Texas A&M at Qatar (Tamuq) hosted Qatari technicians at Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI) for two continuing education courses.
Seven technicians who joined QEERI recently were provided with an internal training programme and a course in material science at Qatar University (QU) and material science characterisation at Tamuq.
It was a vital element in the programme, which will be finalised by a six-month programme at National Institute of Material Sciences (NIMS) in Tsukuba, Japan.
"Our technicians are eager to go to NIMS and are aware that they are not only representing Qatar Foundation (QF) but also Qatar.
"Upon their return they will manage specialised state-of-the-art equipment at new QF R&D facilities to tackle Qatar's grand challenges within QEERI, in collaboration with Tamuq, QU and our local industrial partners," said Dr Klaus Hermann Dahman, Chief Scientist, QEERI.
Participants were also trained in general laboratory and radiation safety and the application of material characterisation tools, and provided with basic hands-on experience on equipment, including standard operating procedures and data analyses software.
They were also familiarised with capabilities of specific equipment models at Central Materials Facility and developed an understanding of hazards associated with each equipment.
