The University of Jeddah participated in the sixth edition of the Hajj Conference and Exhibition 2026 with a suite of educational and training programs, research projects, and volunteer initiatives aimed at developing the Hajj system and enhancing the services provided to the Guests of God.
The university explained that its participation includes six specialized academies offering more than 20 training programs in fields related to Hajj services: the Engineering Academy, the Marketing, Hospitality and Event Management Academy, the Saudi Supply Chain Academy, the Strategic Planning Academy, the Adl Academy, and the Governance, Audit and Risk Management Academy.
It noted that the Applied College is presenting more than 15 diploma and professional certificate programs in logistics, supply chains, and crowd management to qualify national talent and raise the efficiency of services during the Hajj season, while the university is presenting more than 15 specialized research projects focusing on pilgrim health, ease of mobility, crowd management, and the application of Internet of Things technologies.
Community participation included the "Aknaf Al-Haramain" initiative, in which more than 1,000 students take part weekly in field work serving pilgrims and organizing crowds, bringing the university's total participants to more than 5,000 male and female students annually during the Hajj season.
This comes within the university's participation in the exhibition to highlight its role in supporting the Hajj system through the integration of its educational, training, and research outputs with its academic expertise and technical capabilities.
