WHAT IS WEP ?
The Winter Enrichment Program ( WEP ) is a two-week program entirely designed and produced by KAUST . The program takes place during an interlude in the academic semester in January when courses are not offered . The whole University becomes involved in one of the most exciting programs of the year , which features events such as keynote lecture series , courses , field trips , exhibitions , science fairs , entrepreneurship programs , opening night events and final galas . The program hosts KAUST speakers , eminent international guest speakers , Nobel laureates , entrepreneurs , academics and distinguished local and regional leaders and decision makers .
MISSION
Under the umbrella of the Vice President for Academic Affairs , our mission is to enrich with our programs KAUST students , faculty , community members and guests , and contribute to the Kingdom and the world .
WEP also inspires students to be creative and to think outside the box . All University students ( M . S . and Ph . D .) must participate in WEP for credit at least once during their studies at KAUST .
