Virtual Expo

18 October, 2020

Want to learn more about the services, programs, and facilities available to you at KAUST and how you can get involved in the community? Join us in a virtual world to learn more about Community Life and our plans for the community. 

Usually, at this time of year, we host our Community Open Day event to help community members learn about the services we offer and how you can get involved in your community. This year, through the magic of the internet and the necessity driven by the pandemic, we bring you the Community Life Virtual Expo!

The Community Life Virtual Expo has more than a dozen exciting and informative events to attend virtually, including a community showcase and panel discussions.
