Qahwa Talks is a series bringing professors, experts, and thinkers into Doha's best cafés for 45-minute conversations that actually matter.
No lecture halls. No formality. Just people thinking together over coffee.
We believe learning is a lifelong practice — and it shouldn't end when your degree does.
Deep enough to matter. Short enough to fit your evening.
Your questions matter. This is conversation, not performance.
The best thinking happens over coffee with people who care about ideas.
HOW IT WORKS
Show your ticket, grab the coffee that's already included, and take a seat — it starts the way any good café evening starts.
A 45 minute talk from a professor on something they're genuinely excited to think out loud about.
Open conversation after — questions, pushback, tangents welcome. The talk ends; the thinking doesn't.
WHO IT'S FOR
You left the classroom but never left the habit of wanting to think. Come sit in on the next session — no background required, just curiosity.

Pitch your talk →Give a reason for people to linger on a weekday evening. We bring the crowd, the content, and the documentation — you host the room.
Host a session →Dr. Jörg Matthias Determann traces the history of educators who used science fiction to bridge science and the humanities — from campus courses to museum exhibits.
