The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, was a private, higher-education and research institute active from 2007 to 2017, when it merged with two other institutions, namely Petroleum Institute and Khalifa University, to become the multi-campus, sole-branded Khalifa University. Its previous structure, now part of Khalifa University, is now known as the Masdar City campus.
The Masdar Institute was an integral part of the nonprofit side of the Masdar Initiative and was the first institution to occupy Masdar City. The Masdar Institute was developed in cooperation with the MIT Technology and Development Program.
