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).
