Doha, Qatar: Dr. Abdullah Al Swidi, Associate Professor in the Management and Marketing Department at Qatar University (QU)’s College of Business and Economics, has been honoured with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Award for Environment Management in the Islamic World.

This distinguished award was presented at the Ninth Islamic Conference of Environment Ministers in Jeddah. Dr. Al Swidi’s remarkable contributions in the category of Environmental Research and Practices have earned him this prestigious recognition.
