We invite the KAUST community to join us in celebrating the achievements of the exceptional undergraduate students who participated in the 2024 KAUST Academy Specializations Program.
These 200 students, selected from a pool of 8,000 applicants, have spent a year honing skills in artificial intelligence, bioinformatics and cybersecurity under the guidance of KAUST mentors and partner universities. The program’s two-day concluding event, Aug. 25-26, will highlight engaging poster sessions, insightful keynote talks, and a memorable closing ceremony featuring HRH Prince Saud bin Mishaal bin Abdulaziz, Deputy Governor of the Makkah Region.
In the program’s final stage, students developed capstone projects that showcase their expertise and knowledge. Students will present their research, providing an opportunity to engage with their work and witness the outcomes of their efforts, supported by our dedicated faculty. It is also an opportunity for the KAUST community to explore and celebrate the students’ groundbreaking research.
