Launched by An-Najah in February 2025, the BASE project aims to develop science faculties at Palestinian and Jordanian universities in line with Bologna standards. This initiative focuses on restructuring academic programs, ensuring international degree recognition, and enhancing technical education to better prepare graduates for the job market and reduce unemployment.

An-Najah continues to lead academic reforms, strengthening its position as a hub for innovation in higher education. This seminar marks the start of an ongoing journey in academic development, as the university remains committed to providing high-quality education, fostering international cooperation, and preparing graduates for the global job market.
