Dear Colleagues,

This event is open to undergraduate students from around the world and is being held as part of the KAUST Winter Enrichment Program (WEP) for January 2019. WEP is a 12-days innovative interlude program created to inspire and broaden the student and community experience at KAUST with keynotes, workshops, lectures, and events that go beyond the traditional academic curriculum.
A selection of past keynote speakers includes Dirk Ahlborn, CEO at Hyperloop; Carolyn Porco, Imaging Science Team Leader of the NASA Cassini Mission, artist Theo Jansen, and Kip Thorne, Nobel Laureate in Physics, Caltech.
KAUST invites your students to enter this competition by submitting an abstract of their original work before November 10th 2018. For more details, please refer to submission guidelines at:

Authors of the best 50 abstracts will be invited to spend a week at KAUST to present their research and participate in WEP from 20-24 January 2019. The best presentations will be recognized in a final awards ceremony with prizes.
Kindly promote our event to your undergraduates. For any queries, please email: weppostersession@kaust.edu.sa
