CGS Research Day

CGS Research Day is an experience where attendees can explore the array of research being conducted by students, faculty, and staff at the College of Graduate Studies at Arabian Gulf University. The hallmarks of this research are its diversity, innovation, and global nature, addressing major challenges faced today by the Gulf region as well as the Global community.

From bringing innovative solutions for a sustainable environment to reinventing the discovery of cures and vaccines, passing by revisiting educational methodologies, and much more, this day is an opportunity to meet and discuss with our researchers and learn from their expertise how science can be an everyday job, in the evolving research-oriented ecosystem offered by the Arabian Gulf University.

The event is a Hybrid event, made to facilitate attendance from everywhere. In addition to plenary sessions where different research focuses are presented, specialized parallel sessions are conducted for every scientific discipline taught in our large portfolio of Graduate Studies Programs, in addition to Poster sessions, where our students showcase their research findings.
