Quasar International Institute is an educational nonprofit dedicated to building understanding and building understanding. We work to promote peace, prosperity, and a sustainable future through international cooperation and science diplomacy. Quasar's mission is to build international understanding, cooperation, and peace through people-to-people exchanges, experiential learning, leadership development, and travel. We enhance U.S. awareness, knowledge and understanding of Arab countries, the Middle East, and the Islamic world, and we enhance MENA awareness, knowledge and understanding of the U.S. We bring people together to learn about and engage in projects in key emerging sectors essential to our collective future. Quasar focuses on 3 sectors--space, sustainability, and health--and 3 challenges--water, food security, and climate change. We fight hate. We build peace. People-to-people.
