Register in TIME…The clock is ticking!

The Winter Enrichment Program (WEP), a hallmark event of KAUST, returns from Sunday, January 13 to Thursday, January 24, 2019.

Chaired by Professor Valerio Orlando, head of the Environmental Epigenetics Program, #WEP2019 features 12 days of keynotes, lectures, discussions, masterclasses, exhibits and cultural events all relating to the theme of ‘TIME.’

Join us for events, produced entirely by KAUST that will enrich our lives and our minds and stretch our imagination. WEP has so much to offer to engage anyone who is seeking for inspiration and new discoveries.

The registration for WEP is open for the entire KAUST community. It is strongly recommended to register in a timely manner, as seating is limited for some events.

The deadline for registation is December 21, 2018 at midnight.
