For over a decade, the WISER Summer Program has been a cornerstone internship program at KAUST, championing early talent development within our community.
As we prepare for its 11th year, we invite departments to submit proposals to host a WISER intern for Summer 2026.
The program will run from July 19 to August 13, 2026. This four-week, full-time Internship experience provides structured, hands-on internship opportunities for young talent, offering meaningful project engagement and real-world exposure.
About WISER
The WISER Summer Program aims to inspire, engage, and equip students through practical experience, real-world projects, and professional mentorship. Over the past decade, WISER has successfully supported students in developing essential skills, exploring career pathways, and gaining confidence in professional environments.
Why host a WISER Intern?
Hosting a WISER intern is more than offering a placement; it’s about making an impact.
It’s an opportunity to:
- Inspire and guide young people at a formative stage of their journey
- Share your knowledge and passion in a way that truly matters
- Watch confidence grow as students take ownership of real tasks
- Be part of a program that leaves a lasting mark on both students and mentors
Many mentors tell us that the experience is as rewarding for them as it is for the students.
