Global Collaborative Research (GCR) Symposium

Join us in celebrating the major accomplishments of the Global Collaborative Research (GCR) programs in a two-day symposium:

Global Collaborative Research Symposium
March 26 – 27
9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Auditorium (building 20)

The GCR programs were launched in 2007 — engaging over 30 world-class institutions from Asia, Europe, and North America. These programs were instrumental in the institutional development of KAUST during its start-up period, and this symposium will highlight key science and innovation accomplishments produced in partnership with KAUST.

This will also be an occasion for GCR partners to engage with the wider research and academic community on-campus, seeing first-hand how KAUST has evolved during its first few years.

All members of the KAUST research and academic community are invited to attend and participate in this important event.
