When Rakan Alireza makes history next year as the first Saudi athlete to compete in cross-country skiing at the Winter Olympic Games, he hopes to do so with the support of Saudi-made, high-performance sensors developed in laboratories at KAUST.

KAUST has signed an MOU with the International Medical Center (IMC) to strengthen cooperation in scientific research related to wellness, quality of life, and population health management. The agreement supports Saudi Arabia’s efforts to advance the national healthcare ecosystem and foster medical innovation.

The Saudi Ministry of Health and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen collaboration in healthcare innovation and investment, and to develop a sustainable ecosystem that supports applied research and advanced technologies in the health sector.

KAUST is transforming Saudi Arabia's health and neuroscience expertise with the addition of pioneering leadership.

Saudi Arabia has pledged to divert 90% of its waste from landfills by 2040. New technology at KAUST is sustainably recycling spoiled dairy and fruit juices into valuable products. KAUST has launched a pilot study to demonstrate value of this technology across multiple Saudi industries.

A new study led by Professor Alexandre Rosado has revealed an unusual microbial world in the Hatiba Mons hydrothermal vent fields of the central Red Sea, a site first discovered by one of his co-authors and colleagues, Assistant Professor Froukje M. van der Zwan.
