The university obtained two medals, "silver and bronze," at the 49th Geneva International Inventions Exhibition. The exhibition featured over 1,000 inventions from 40 countries worldwide. These awards add to a series of achievements and successes the university has accomplished both locally and internationally. The silver medal was awarded for the invention "A System and Method for Desalinating Water Using a Saline Plant," presented by a research team from the university's College of Agriculture and Food, led by Dr. Abdulaziz bin Bani Al-Harbi, with the participation of Dr. Mekdad Rabhi and Dr. Ahmed Al-Zuhairi.

 

This invention can produce fresh water in commercial quantities through a closed biological system capable of converting highly saline water into distilled fresh water. The system operates naturally and for a long period of time without any intervention, which helps solve the water desalination dilemma sustainably and using solar energy without the need for other energies. This innovation opens a new window in scientific research for a method of desalinating highly saline water using an environmentally friendly and economically inexpensive mechanism.

 

He won the bronze medal for the invention "A Method for Preparing Excipients from Date Waste," presented by a research team led by Dr. Fahd bin Mohammed Al-Mindraj, with the participation of Dr. Thamer Ibrahim Rajab and Dr. Wael Abdulhafeez Shandi. This invention aids in the optimal utilization of date waste after extracting active ingredients, to produce nano-sized excipients for pharmaceutical tablets, representing a new technology in this pharmaceutical field.

 

It is noteworthy that the university is participating in the Geneva International Inventions Exhibition through a pavilion that highlights its innovation ecosystem, featuring a number of the university's inventions and innovations. This participation falls under the Ministry of Education's initiative to enhance the international presence of Saudi universities, in line with national objectives. The university's participation aims to showcase its role in supporting the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, as well as to display several inventions and innovations competing for advanced international positions.
