MoECC discusses development of radiation training, safety system with accredited centres
This comes as part of its efforts to develop the radiation protection system and enhance the competencies of personnel working in this vital sector, in line with internationally recognised best standards and practices.
The meeting discussed mechanisms for developing the training content of accredited centres and ensuring that training programmes comply with relevant national regulatory controls and legislation, as well as the requirements and procedures for personal licensing of those working in the radiological field.
Participants reviewed the latest updates to radiation-related legislation and regulatory frameworks, in addition to the challenges facing accredited training centres and ways to address them to achieve higher levels of training efficiency and the quality of specialized human resources.
The meeting also highlighted the importance of standardising criteria across training providers and the need to strengthen the competence and readiness of trainees to meet radiation safety requirements. It further presented a number of awareness initiatives aimed at raising radiation safety awareness among workers and trainees in the field.
MoECC's Radiation Protection Department affirmed its keenness to continue cooperating with all relevant entities to ensure the development of training programmes, build the capacity of national cadres, and enhance the state's radiation protection system in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030).

MoECC launches fish release campaign to boost marine biodiversity in Sealine Reserve
Tribune News Network Doha In a significant step toward strengthening marine biodiversity and promoting sustainable environmental practices, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC) has launched a fish release campaign in the Sealine Reserve, located in southern Qatar. The initiative, led by the ministry's Natural Reserves and Marine Protection departments in collaboration with the Aquatic Research Center of the Ministry of Municipality, aims to support the regeneration of local fish stocks and enhance the health of marine ecosystems. The move aligns with Qatar's National Vision for environmental sustainability and the long-term conservation of natural resources. The fish release process was carried out following comprehensive scientific studies conducted by the Aquatic Research Center to assess the suitability of the reserve's ecosystem. The studies ensured that the environmental conditions in the area are conducive to the growth and reproduction of the selected fish species, thereby increasing the likelihood of the project's long-term success. In a statement, the ministry said campaign is part of a broader strategy to protect marine habitats, rehabilitate degraded ecosystems, and mitigate human impacts on coastal and marine areas. By enhancing fish populations in protected environments, the project is also expected to contribute positively to the nation's food security. The Sealine Reserve offers an ideal setting for the initiative due to its rich biodiversity and unique environmental features. The ministry affirmed that it will continue ongoing monitoring of the released fish populations and the broader marine environment to evaluate the impact of the initiative. Periodic reports will be produced to assess outcomes and ensure adaptive management strategies are applied as needed. This campaign is one of several innovative programmes the ministry is implementing as part of its commitment to preserving Qatar's marine heritage for future generations

Qatar students win bronze at 2025 International Chemistry Olympiad in Dubai
A team of Qatari students won the bronze medal at the 57th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO 2025), held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with the participation of 90 countries from around the world. In a statement, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education said that four high school students represented Qatar in the competition: Youssef Mohamed Elshahat and Benjamin Allen Conde Danky from Qatar International School, Salem Faisal Al Marri from Doha Secondary School, and Moaz Sharif from Ahmed Bin Hanbal Secondary School. The Qatari delegation's efforts resulted in Youssef Mohamed Elshahat winning the bronze medal, while Benjamin Allen Conde Danky was awarded an honorary certificate in recognition of his outstanding performance - an achievement that reflects the growing strength of Qatari students in specialized sciences and their ability to excel on the global stage. The Olympiad featured several hours of rigorous scientific exams, covering advanced theoretical and practical topics in chemistry. Each country was represented by a four-student team. The Qatari team underwent an intensive training program led by chemistry supervisors from the Science Department at the Ministry's Educational Guidance Directorate. The program included both in-person and remote lectures and training sessions, conducted by highly qualified local and international trainers. The preparation also involved collaboration with academic institutions in Qatar, including Qatar University and Hamad Bin Khalifa University (member of Qatar Foundation), particularly for the practical components of the training. Qatar's participation in the 57th International Chemistry Olympiad aligns with the Ministry's commitment to encouraging student involvement in international competitions and fostering an educational environment that supports academic excellence - advancing the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030 to build a knowledge-based society and empower national talent for global leadership.
