This year’s forum will focus on four themes: medicine and health sciences, engineering and sciences, human and administrative sciences, and scientific posters. The 85 applicants and advanced students compete for (12) prizes and their works were judged by researchers at Australian universities.

During the two weeks preceding the forum, (13) virtual lectures were implemented, hosted by a number of experts in scientific and practical fields, to enrich scholarship students in the field of research, development and innovation.

Pharmacist Abrar bint Fawzi Arbaeen, head of the scientific committee of the forum and a doctoral researcher in the field of pediatric toxicology, explained that the arbitration criteria were divided into three main sections: scientific criteria, criteria for the extent to which the research is related to the objectives of the Saudi Vision 2030, and criteria for the extent to which the research can be converted into a commercial product or service. . The forum was opened by the Ambassador of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to Australia, Mr. Musaed Al-Saleem, in the presence of the Consul General in Sydney, Mr. Meshary bin Nahit, the Deputy Ambassador in Australia, Mr. Abdullah Al-Sharif, the Chargé d’Affairs of the Cultural Attaché Dr. Abdulbari Al-Tamani, and the Commercial Attaché Mr. Atef Al-Athri and members of the Saudi diplomatic mission in Australia.
