Saudi achievement

The American Chemical Society has a global prestigious position in the field of chemistry, and annually offers special prizes within the activities of the ISF exhibition, in support of distinguished scientific projects, and an encouragement for talented students to innovate in the areas of chemistry and related sciences.

The student, Misk Al -Mutairi, from the Eastern Education Department, participated in a research project that focuses on creating and testing new copper nanoparticles to convert carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals selectively, which contributes to the development of carbon economy technologies and reduced harmful emissions, while her colleague in the same administration Raghad Al -Sheikh presented a promising research project to develop effective electrical stimuli to convert Carbon dioxide, which may open horizons for cleaner and more sustainable chemical industries.
These honorable results came as a fruit of a careful scientific qualification path that students participating in “ISF 2025”, and extended over a full year, within specialized programs supervised by the King Abdulaziz Foundation and his men for talent and creativity “talent”, which included diagnostic tests, workshops, and training on display and delivery skills, under the supervision of a group of local and international experts.
