It is my sincere honor and pleasure to welcome all participants, presenters, and speakers to this prestigious international conference. King Faisal University is privileged to host a conference which seeks to address the challenges of our generation by promoting the interests of the next generation’s problem solvers – the gifted and talented youth.

King Faisal University and the leaders of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia recognize the central role which gifted and talented youth play in securing a better future for generations to come. Furthermore, the choice to host this ambitious conference in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia emphasizes the truly international outlook of the conference and the importance of building bridges between cultures and people worldwide over our shared interests. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the generous sponsors and co-sponsors for making this conference possible.
