MUSCAT: The Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS) reaffirmed late Wednesday its commitment to working with Omani scientific and educational institutions, following its participation in the recently concluded Oman Science Festival 2026 in Muscat.

KFAS said in a statement to KUNA that its participation, alongside its affiliated centers, aimed to showcase its support for science, technology and youth innovation, reflecting close ties between Kuwait and Oman and its mission to make science accessible and nurture talent. The participation coincided with the foundation’s 50th anniversary.

The KFAS pavilion included the Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity and sections from its other main centers, offering interactive workshops, lectures and science activities for all ages. Workshops covered animal classification, sharks, smart robotic cubes and building small racing cars, while KFAS also hosted an astrophotography workshop and a lecture on the Kuwait Prize.

Ahed Al-Asousi, in charge of the Scientific Progress corner at KFAS’s Strategic Partnerships Department, told KUNA that the pavilion welcomed hundreds of visitors, including students, researchers and parents, over the festival’s 10 days. KFAS thanked Oman’s Ministry of Education and affirmed its commitment to future collaboration. — KUNA
