This fall, KAUST graduates, postdoctoral students and international undergraduate students submitted their best research in poster format. The finalists have now been selected and each poster will be judged by a carefully selected review committee.

The winner will be announced on January 21, 2015 during KAUST's Winter Enrichment Program (WEP). The KAUST community is invited for the poster session and for the Award Ceremony.
