Dr. Tamer Khatib
Director of Scientific Centers
The Scientific Centres aspire to promote An-Najah as a leading academic institution in scientific research. The centres also aspire to bridge ties with the local institutions that offer support to the development projects in the fields of water, environment, energy, urban planning and disaster risk management as well as building research, transportation, chemical and biological analysis and community service.
The centres aim at linking the university’s academics with the public and private sectors in Palestine and abroad and adopting their competencies to serve the university and the Palestinian community.
