Najran University launches 17 new digital services to boost transformation
Najran University has introduced 17 new e-services for its Scientific Council, advancing its digital transformation in line with Vision 2030.
Jazan University has introduced new environmental initiatives to coincide with the 2026 National Afforestation Season. The university aims to boost sustainability, protect resources, and increase green cover. This aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative.
Vice President Abdullah bin Mousa Shubair emphasized the university's commitment to environmental protection and vegetation development as a national responsibility. He highlighted the collaboration with the National Center for Vegetation Cover Development and Combating Desertification.
The university signed a strategic agreement with Zero Neutral Company to develop innovative solutions that reduce carbon emissions and support Saudi Green Initiative goals. This led to a project planting 11,000 smart trees on campus. The first phase has already seen 3,000 trees planted.
Acting Director of the Center for Environmental and Nature Research, Abadi bin Mohammed Mashlawi, reported achieving 100% of national targets in the National Afforestation Program last year. They planted 38,946 trees and earned a perfect score on the afforestation platform in the Jazan region. The university has planted around 60,821 trees and flowers across 24 locations, focusing on region-suited species like Poinciana, Neem, and Bougainvillea.
Director of Community Service Areej Basahi stressed the university's commitment to involving students and staff in environmental volunteer activities. She noted students as the central figures in building a generation that is aware and responsible toward its environment.
