Saudi team competes in science olympiad
The competition, which runs until Aug. 21, sees the participation of hundreds of students from more than 60 countries.
The olympiad is an annual international science competition for high school students under the age of 20. It was first launched in 2007 in Thailand and tests the skills of participants. Each country is represented by a team of three to five students.
The Kingdom is being represented in this edition by five talented students who were nominated after participating in a series of intensive forums and training sessions held under the supervision of Mawhiba, in strategic partnership with the Ministry of Education and the Saudi Space Agency, and sponsored by Neo Space Group.
Saudi Arabia participated for the first time last year and won three bronze medals.
The team's participation is part of the Kingdom's journey in international scientific competitions to enhance the presence of talented men and women on the global stage.
Saudi Arabia's presence in this global scientific forum is a continuation of its distinguished journey in international forums in the fields of science, and a consolidation of its role in building a knowledge-enabled generation that contributes to national development and embodies an honorable image of the Kingdom's students on the global stage.

KAUST authors new study on land degradation
RIYADH: A recent study by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology designed a new blueprint to reduce the impact of land degradation worldwide. The Saudi university is aiming to reverse the growing threat of land degradation, and improve food and water security, social stability, and biodiversity. The study was published in the international multidisciplinary science journal Nature, and puts forward a number of solutions to reverse the trajectory of land degradation by 2050. One of the recommended methods involves increasing production and consumption of seafood in order to reduce the pressure that agriculture places on land. Another is to lower food waste by 75 percent — with the study noting that one-third of food produced is wasted at a cost of more than $1 trillion annually. Finally, the study suggests restoring 50 percent of degraded land through sustainable management practices. KAUST reported that food production is using up to 34 percent of the planet's ice-free land, a number that could increase to 42 percent by 2050 if current situation continues. Scientists proposed revising economic incentives, increasing food donations, and promoting smaller restaurant portions to preserve up to 13.4 million sq. km of land. 'Saudi Arabia is already doing a lot in improving food waste and looking at land restoration, but can still benefit a lot from this if policymakers implement a few of these key recommendations,' Fernando Maestre, professor of environmental science and engineering at KAUST, told Arab News. 'These include promoting smaller restaurant meals, requiring supermarkets and hotels to donate or discount near-expiry food, requiring companies to publish waste-reduction plans, investing in cold-chain and community redistribution, and expanding sustainable seafood/seaweed options that deliver nutrition with very low land and water use. 'Cutting food waste with measures like these would ease pressure on the Kingdom's scarce water resources and cut emissions, while improving food security and saving money,' Maestre added. The study also emphasized the importance of sustainable seafood production, elaborating on how specific aquaculture policies could have the potential to lower the pressure on land resources and help reduce deforestation. 'By transforming food systems, restoring degraded land, harnessing the potential of sustainable seafood, and fostering cooperation across nations and sectors, we can 'bend the curve' and reverse land degradation,' Maestre said. The study was carried out in collaboration with Aeon Collective and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification.

New scholarship program aims to put media students on fast track to the top
RIYADH: Officials on Wednesday announced the launch of a new scholarship program designed to prepare Saudi students for a first class-career in the media industry. Speaking at a press conference, Minister of Media Salman Al-Dossary said the Media Scholarship Project, developed in partnership with the Ministry of Education, would combine 'knowledge with empowerment.' The initiative, he said, was 'aimed at preparing male and female students for the job market by training them and sending them to the world's best universities and companies specializing in the media field.' Minister of Education Yousef Al-Benyan said the growth in the number of Saudi students at top universities was evidence of the Kingdom's drive to develop its human capital and expand international education opportunities. The ministers also discussed the country's decision to return to a two-semester academic year and the introduction of an artificial intelligence curriculum. Starting in the 2025-26 academic year, AI studies will be introduced at all stages of education alongside a cybersecurity course for high school students. Responding to a question from Arab News, Al-Benyan said the 180-day semester 'meets the needs of the educational process' in Saudi Arabia. The decision was made following a 'comprehensive study that included input from all parties, starting with the students themselves, parents and teachers, as well as experts from within the ministry and other parties,' he said. The change comes four years after the introduction of a three-term system that aimed to extend study days, expand the curricula and make fuller use of educational resources. Al-Benyan said the National Center for Curriculum Development had produced 27 digital courses, reformulated 19 as interactive books and reviewed 50 others to support an advanced digital learning environment. He also highlighted the center's role in aligning curricula with national values and identity, and praised the National Institute for Professional Development for its work with teachers. 'There is a program that will detail the number of values, as well as their quality, and link them to the curriculum and classroom activities. And there will be, God willing, a clear plan from the National Center for Curriculum Development,' he said. Al-Benyan also announced the launch of 75 new construction projects, worth a combined SR920 million ($245.2 million), designed to enhance the nation's education infrastructure and outlined a number of other economic achievements 'Saudi Arabia's program to attract regional headquarters for global companies attracted more than 616 global companies in the first quarter of 2021, up from 120 in the previous quarter, exceeding the 2030 target of 500 companies,' he said. In the industrial sector, he said the number of factories had risen from 'about 7,200 to about 250,500,' while investment had increased from SR955 billion to SR1 trillion and non-oil exports had grown from SR150 billion to SR677 billion. The ministers were speaking at the latest in a series of quarterly ministerial press conferences designed to shed light on important issues and encourage transparency between officials and journalists, values that align with Vision 2030.

SDAIA, Oxford University Partner on AI Engineering Camp to Empower Saudi Graduates
The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) has launched a new artificial intelligence application engineering camp in collaboration with Oxford University. The initiative aims to train Saudi and international graduates, equipping them with advanced skills in the rapidly evolving field of AI. The intensive eight-week program is open to bachelor's and master's degree holders in artificial intelligence, computer science, and related disciplines. Overseen by international experts, the curriculum will cover advanced AI sciences, computer vision, deep learning, and generative models, SPA reported. Participants will gain hands-on experience in designing and developing AI models using Python, TensorFlow, and PyTorch, and will work on advanced projects in natural language processing and computer vision. A key focus of the camp is on practical application. Graduates will learn to use industry-standard tools like YOLO and Hugging Face to create and deploy real-world technical solutions. The program adopts a flexible two-phase educational model, beginning with distance learning before transitioning to an in-person phase at Oxford University. This camp forms part of SDAIA's commitment to developing national capabilities and fostering partnerships with leading global universities. By equipping Saudi talent with modern AI tools and technologies, the program supports the Kingdom's digital transformation goals and the targets of Saudi Vision 2030.
