It also sought to build a knowledge-based community, facilitating scientific communication and collaboration between students, faculty members, researchers, and related institutions. The top three presentations and posters were nominated by a judging committee from various biology specialties, ensuring integration between academic aspects and achieving a high level of educational competence. Dr. Maryam Al-Khatib, Head of the Biology Department at the College of Science, stated:
“The annual forum reflects the department’s commitment to keeping pace with global research trends, preparing scientifically and professionally outstanding female graduates, and enriching scientific innovation to contribute to sustainable development and comprehensive progress, in line with Saudi Vision 2030.” The 10th Scientific Forum aligns with the College of Science’s efforts to achieve the objectives of Princess Nourah University’s 2025 Strategic Plan, aiming to enhance scientific research, prepare competitive graduates, support the research and innovation ecosystem, and align educational outputs with labor market needs.
