Global Students Research Conference
The Global Students Research (GSR) Conference is an initiative by KFUPM leaders and students to advance scientific research and its impact on various aspects of life.

Why GSR?
Typical conferences are not attractive to most students. They see them as boring, tedious, work, especially if they focus on a specific topic. We want to change this and widen the scope to have a bigger impact. GSR phonetically means bridge in Arabic, so let's bridge the gap!

How are we changing that?
GSR is for students, by students. It's simple, we plant a SEED
Sustainability
GSR is committed to sustainable research practices and reducing environmental impact. We aim to reduce oil reliance by fostering innovation and scientific research.
Empowerment
GSR places great emphasis on empowering youth by developing and preparing them for leadership roles.
Evolution
GSR aims to create a research culture that drives scientific technologies and discoveries forward.
Diversity
GSR strives to facilitate networking and collaboration, bringing together the brightest minds in the world to achieve global engagement and cultural exchange.

Theme: Disruptive Technology
Disruptive technology is an innovation that significantly alters the way consumers, industries, or businesses operate. A disruptive technology sweeps away the systems or habits it replaces because it has attributes that are recognizably superior.
