Oriented Technology

What is e-Science? We believe a good definition of e-Science has been given by Professor Malcolm Atkinson, e-Science Envoy, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, namely
"The term "e-Science" denotes the systematic development of research methods that exploit advanced computational thinking"

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology

Being built in the Saudi city of Thuwal, the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is designed by HOK architects and Saudi Aramco. The KAUST covering 9,000 acres area to accommodate 20,000 people once complete.

Aiming at creating a luxurious academic venue rather than the stuffy old world approach, there will even be a golf course, beach club, sports centre (although notably only the men will get an outdoor swimming pool) and land set aside for residential development that will eventually turn the university into a fully functioning town.
