Research Material Logistics Team
The function of KAUST’s Research Material Logistics Team involves supply chain management that plans, implements, and controls the efficient and effective flow of research material between the point of origin and point of use. The team also provides a vertically integrated service to other elements of KAUST Procurement by managing the transportation of commercial research materials between suppliers and our own labs by establishing optimized, sustainable routings for materials, and associated shipping data.
In addition, the Logistics Team also works with the Office of Research Services (ORS) to coordinate the worldwide shipment of research samples to and from collaborating institutions worldwide in addition to arranging for the shipment of sensitive laboratory equipment back to suppliers for repair and overhaul.
In the event that you need to move research related materials, samples or equipment either inside or outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, please contact the Logistics Team first and we will work with you to develop an effective logistics solution tailored to meet your particular requirements.
