JEDDAH — The University of Business and Technology recently hosted its annual 3rd Research Symposium-Poster session to showcase researches in the university. The event offered a chance for the researchers to meet, discuss ideas, share knowledge and get feedback. This year, there were 10 posters from CBA, 17 from CE, 4 from JCA, and for the first time ELA makes an appearance with two posters.

Posters were evaluated by 8 jury members from all colleges, and winners of the Best Poster Award were: Dr. Zulfeequar Alam from CBA, Dr. Ahmad Barham from CE, Saleh Al-Takrouri from JCA, and Ms. Asmaa Hakami from ELA.

The Deanship of Scientific Research, organizer of the event, took this opportunity and stressed on the importance of scientific research. The Dean, Dr. Basma El Zein has encouraged researchers to conduct more research, and to publish in peer-reviewed journals to lift the university’s ranking to be among the top universities worldwide, known for scientific and applied research, and to serve the Kingdom's Vision 2030.

Working towards this goal, UBT has signed many MoUs with universities in the US and Europe, and many research projects are already active. Moreover, UBT has partnered with international academic publishing company Springer Nature to improve the quality of research in the university.
