Under the patronage of the Acting President of Kuwait University, Prof. Fayez AlDhafiri, and the Vice-President for Research Prof. Rasheed AlEnezi, the Research Sector organized the scientific poster event for the humanitarian and scientific faculties and researchers from the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) for the academic year 2020/2021. This year witnessed the participation of Health Sciences Center Colleges for the first time.
The event was held on Sunday, March 21st, 2021, remotely by displaying scientific posters via a unified electronic link, where the displayed posters discussed various contemporary issues of scientific, social and national importance, reflecting the research interests of the academic community in the participating faculties.
The participation of humanitarian colleges came as follows: the College of Arts (8 posters), College of Business Administration (14 posters), College of Education (24 posters), College of Law (17 posters), College of Sharia and Islamic Studies (6 posters), and College of Social Sciences (11 posters).

This will open broad horizons for scientific and research cooperation, and raise the quality of scientific research at Kuwait University.
