History
KISR was established in 1967 by the Arabian Oil Company. The institute was to carry out applied research in petroleum, desert agriculture and marine biology. In 1973, an amiri decree was made by Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to organize KISR under the responsibility of the Council of Ministers. The objectives of KISR were also reorganized. Another amiri decree was made in 1981 to establish KISR as an independent public institution.External links
