Bahrain's His Majesty King Hamad will today launch the King Hamad Oasis for Science and Technology and the University Studies Support project.
Education Minister Dr Majid Al Nuaimi yesterday told a press conference that the centre will be established at the Bahrain University headquarters at Sakhir campus.
It will comprise a College of Science and Technology, research centres and investment areas that provide funds for scientific research. Work on the first phase of the BD10 million ($26.7 million) project, covering an area of 20,000 sq m, will start by the end of next year, Dr Al Nuaimi said.
He said University Studies Support is a scientific and educational scheme aiming to provide support for needy students, including those with special needs, to enable them to pursue their university education.
His Majesty will today deliver a keynote speech marking National Day and Accession Day. He will patronise a ceremony celebrating both national occasions and honour citizens in recognition of their dedication in serving the country and people. – TradeArabia News Service
