ABOUT THE OFFICE OF ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS AT KAUST
WHAT IS WEP ?
The Winter Enrichment Program ( WEP ) is a two-week program unlike any other . Designed and produced by KAUST , WEP takes place during an interlude in the academic semester in January . Our theme changes annually and is chosen collaboratively , with input from students , faculty , community members , alumni , and industrial partners . This collaboration , from students to industry professionals to members of the community , means we are uniquely placed to tackle global problems .
WEP is created to unleash the creativity of its participants . The whole University is involved in this exciting program , which features keynote lectures , workshops and courses , distinguished lectures , exhibitions , science fairs , entrepreneurship programs , and more .
Since 2010 , WEP has proudly hosted Nobel laureates , CEOs , ministers , elite athletes , academics from leading universities , eminent international speakers , artists , and distinguished local and regional leaders and decision-makers .
