Please note the posters will be available all day from 10 am – 5 pm – don’t miss out!
The Poster Session will be taking place in the KAUST Library, with researchers presenting their latest work in science and engineering. Each day will focus on a different thrust: Sunday: Water; Monday: Digital; Tuesday: Environment; Wednesday: Energy; Thursday: Food & Health. This is a great opportunity to learn about the excellent work performed in KAUST and network with fellow researchers, so don't forget to stop by! A prize will be awarded every day for the "Best Poster."
Please join our Networking Lunches from 12-1 pm in the same venue, open to all KAUST researchers and collaborators, while enjoying music presented live by the KAUST community DJ club (The Ministry of Disc Jockeys).
The complete list of posters can be found below.
