Qatar Science & Technology Park's popular display of stunning science photographs, Insight Into Innovation, moves to the Corniche this month.

The 16 three-meter wide photographs will be located next to the Balhambar restaurant from 10th to 22nd April.

Created for the Explore QSTP exhibition last September, Insight Into Innovation proved so successful that the science park is now making it available it to the whole Doha community. Based on the themes of scientific exploration and innovation, the display comprises striking images from the cells within our bodies to astronauts circling the earth. It also explains how the science shown relates to activities of Qatar's own universities and companies.

"The spirit of scientific exploration and business innovation drives a knowledge society, and we see that spirit flourishing strongly in Qatar", said Dr. Eulian Roberts, chief executive of QSTP. "By bringing Insight Into Innovation to the Corniche we hope to delight people with stunning science and show that it is very much connected to what is happening around us in Qatar now."

Originally planned as a one-off event at the City Centre last September, Insight Into Innovation proved so popular that it has been requested for exhibitions and events around Doha.

For the first time the photographs will be displayed out of doors, and illuminated to make an even more impressive sight at night. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
