KAUST held the fifth annual KAUST Saudi Leadership Program (KSLP)—a training program for leaders and academics at Saudi universities—in collaboration with the Haas School of Business of the University of California, Berkeley. KSLP aims to develop the capabilities of Saudi leaders, improve the working environment of national academic institutions, build high-level strategic professional networks and enhance self-development.
The 2018 edition of KSLP included workshops and a six-day training course for 25 Saudi female academics in leadership and deanship positions from around the Kingdom. The list of invitees included academics from Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, King Saud University, Al-Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University and King Abdulaziz University.
