The Research Poster Competitions are an ideal opportunity for students and postdocs to share the results of their hard work, and present their research to visitors and the community at KAUST. Each year two competitions take place during the Winter Enrichment Program (WEP): the International Undergraduate Poster Competition and the KAUST Graduate Student and Postdoc Poster Competition.
Each year hundreds of international undergraduates from world renowned universities submit abstracts for their research. From these entries, 50 students are selected and invited to come to KAUST and present in the competition. For WEP 2014, the undergraduate competition received over 600 submissions. Selected students spend a week at KAUST taking part in WEP activities, visiting the labs and meeting with faculty members. They also take part in recreation activities including snorkeling and a field trip to the historical region of Jeddah, Al Balad.
The KAUST Graduate Student and Postdoc competition is also a competitive research poster event, allowing KAUST students to showcase their ideas and highlight the research that is taking place at KAUST.
The judging committee is carefully selected from professors and faculty members of different research centers. Judging is based on quality, completeness, impact of the work, as well as on the visual clarity of the posters.
A prestigious Award Ceremony is held for both competitions where trophies and prize money are awarded to the winners and runners-up.
