The British Council in Qatar is delighted to open recruitment for the wraparound activities/services around the 3rd annual QICF.  Since the Supreme Education Council (SEC) will be offering limited logistical support to participants with no accommodation, we are glad to inform you that we managed to negotiate very good corporate rates with a 5 star hotel, located near by the exhibition centre, in November which is a high season in Qatar.  Therefore, we are offering different packages covering logistics, business events and social & cultural activities. Institutions are granted the flexibility to opt for any package or activity they want. The packages are:
