Masdar Institute is a graduate-level scientific engineering institution focused on education research in the core energy and sustainability- technology themes of the Masdar Initiative.
The Masdar Institute is a non-profit, independent entity established with the assistance of the world- renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), under a cooperative agreement signed in December 2006. MIT is assisting the Masdar Institute to emulate its own standards of excellence in Abu Dhabi, and to become a regional engine for technology-driven growth by combining local cutting-edge research with high-caliber graduate education.
The Masdar Institute offers Masters and PhD programs in Science and Engineering disciplines designed to attract top-level talent from local and international universities. Masdar Institute students and researchers will experience uniquely-rewarding opportunities in the region’s emerging sustainable energy and technology industries, through continual interaction with top academics and campus-based industry experts.
Combined with solid scientific training, such experience will ensure that Masdar Institute graduates are in high demand, both regionally and internationally.
Extensive collaboration with other leading international scientific centers via the Masdar Research Network will further broaden the experiences of students, faculty and staff, as well as firmly securing the Institute’s position within the global scientific community.
