Leading the Charge: AUK's Panel Discussion on Kuwait's Sustainable Future

The Office of Research and Grants (ORG) at AUK hosted a panel discussion entitled "Energy and Environmental Sustainability in Kuwait" at the campus theater. The panel discussion brought together experts in energy conservation, government policy, and artificial intelligence to review current efforts and plan for a more sustainable future in Kuwait.  

Participating in the panel discussion were AUK assistant professor of management, Dr. Ahmad Al-Saber; Dr. Yehya Al-Hadban from the Kuwait Institute of Scientific Research (KISR); Dr. Dhary Al Kandary, assistant professor in the Environmental Sciences Department at Kuwait University (KU); and Dr. Marwan Al-Dimashki from the Kuwait Environment Protection Agency. 

ORG director, Dr. Iyad Abu Doush, commenced the event by extending a warm welcome and emphasizing the importance of delving into sustainable energy and environmental concerns, particularly given their profound implications for future generations. 
Dr. Al-Hadban elaborated on effective operational tactics for air conditioning systems, the significance of thermal energy storage, and forthcoming trends in energy conservation, whilst Dr. Al-Kandary shared an overview of the effectiveness of recent efforts in monitoring and improving the seawater quality around Kuwait. 

The status of Kuwait's government initiatives in controlling air quality and supporting environmental research was also discussed, whereby Dr. Al-Dimashki reflected on how these efforts align with international standards. Dr. Al-Saber provided his expertise on the application of artificial intelligence in environmental monitoring, discussing the potential for AI-driven solutions to further environmental research and policymaking in Kuwait.  

AUK's endeavors are not merely academic pursuits but tangible expressions of its commitment to shaping a more sustainable future for Kuwait and beyond. As AUK continues to lead the charge in driving meaningful change, it reaffirms its position as a pioneer in its dedication to fostering a more environmentally conscious world.
