Scientific Centers serve as a vital link between the university and the community, facilitating research and project implementation. An-Najah University, through its Board of Trustees and Administration, remains committed to establishing scientific centers that contribute to sustainable development and enhance the resource infrastructure of the Palestinian community.

Since its establishment in 1994, An-Najah University's Scientific Centers have grown to encompass five specialized centers, each aligned with the university's strategic and development plan:

  1. The Center for Urban Planning and Disaster Risk Reduction

  2. The Center for Energy, Water, and Food Security Research

  3. The Economic and Social Development Research Center

  4. The Medical and Health Sciences Center

  5. The Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality Research Center

These centers cover a wide range of research areas, including earthquake research, energy, environment and climate change, constitutional law and democracy research, bioequivalence research, and more. Collaborating with international institutions like the UNESCO Chair for Democracy and Human Rights and the UNESCO Chair for Water and Sustainable Development, the centers aim to complement the role of university faculties in applied research.

The primary objectives of the Scientific Centers are to empower human resources, foster cooperation with local and international centers, and engage with the public and private sectors. Through various means such as posters, brochures, workshops, and short documentaries, the centers raise community awareness about their work.

In addition to their primary objectives, An-Najah University's Scientific Centers also play a crucial role in enhancing research leading to innovation and the commercialization of scientific findings. Working closely with the university's Technology Transfer Office, the centers identify potential commercial applications for their research and collaborate with local and international partners to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems.

The success of the Scientific Centers is evident in their ability to translate research into practical applications, such as developing new medical treatments, improving agricultural practices, and creating sustainable energy solutions. These innovations contribute to the economic growth of the Palestinian community, creating new industries and jobs.

To further promote innovation and commercialization, the centers organize workshops and training sessions on entrepreneurship and intellectual property rights, providing support for patent applications and technology licensing agreements.

The University Administration, led by its President and Board of Trustees, has provided unwavering support to the scientific centers since their inception. Thanks to these centers' efforts, An-Najah National University has successfully undertaken numerous strategic projects that have shaped its identity and impact in the academic community.
