PSAU, represented by the Deanship of Student Affairs in cooperation with the College of Applied Medical Sciences and in partnership with the university’s health colleges, will host the “Innovation and Transformation in Health Sciences” Forum under the theme “From Idea to Impact.” The forum will take place from February 2 to 3, 2027, at the university’s campus in Al-Kharj. It seeks to promote innovation in the health sector and turn creative ideas into practical solutions that help address health-related development challenges.
PSAU announced that submissions are open to male and female students from all academic disciplines from November 8 to December 19, 2026. The forum gives students the opportunity to present their ideas and prototypes and move them toward application and impact.
The forum features specialized tracks and initiatives. These include the “Open Health Innovation Challenge,” where participants present innovative ideas that address health challenges, and “Riyadathon,” which focuses on developing ready health solutions and workable prototypes. The forum will also hold panel discussions and specialized workshops under the “Health Crossroads” track, with a number of specialists and experts taking part.
PSAU has set aside cash prizes totaling up to SAR 44,000 for the winning entries across the forum’s tracks. The prizes seek to encourage innovators and support the university’s research and entrepreneurial environment, contributing to the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 in innovation and health transformation.
