After a detailed description of Saudi Aramco's expansion projects, Jum‘ah spoke of the role the company is playing in the creation of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and the King Abdulaziz Center for Knowledge and Culture. “The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah, has entrusted Saudi Aramco with much of the university's development,” Jum‘ah said. “When it opens 11 months from now, KAUST will be a graduate university dedicated to scientific and technical research and teaching, drawing faculty, staff and students from all over the globe.” --MORE
