KAUST to ensure highest Scholarship& Research standards: Report
Riyadh, August 12 (SPA) - King Abdullah University of Science and
Technology (KAUST), scheduled to open in September, 2009, will be an
international and graduate-level research university in the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia.
Research at KAUST will focus on areas that are important to the
future of Saudi Arabia, the region and the world and will take place
in world-class facilities serving students, researchers and faculty
in disciplines such as energy and environment; water desalination;
industrial biotechnology, and scientific computing.
All classes at KAUST will be conducted in English. KAUST will create
and support the highest standards of scholarship through merit-based
opportunities for males and females from around the world.
The Launching of the mega project of KAUST was announced by the
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al
Saud at Taif Citizens' Festival to celebrate the King's visit to the
Province in Jumada Al-Thani 1427 AH.
As an independent university governed by a self-perpetuating Board
of Trustees and supported by a multi-billion dollar endowment, KAUST
will converge the best minds – based strictly on merit – and create a
collaborative community of passionate and talented researchers from
around the world.
The University will act as a catalyst for research that applies
science and technology to problems of human need, social advancement,
and economic development in Saudi Arabia, across the region, and
around the globe, according to a report of KAUST.
The University is being developed in a unique coastal location on
the eastern shore of the Red Sea at Thuwal, approximately 80
kilometers north of Jeddah and approximately an hour north of Makkah
in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
