I am proud and privileged to introduce the Scientific Research Center at the University of Zakho.

The establishment of the Scientific Research Center was a new vision and a long-term strategy undertaken by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research - KRG. The mission is to achieve high quality and deliver excellence in scientific research.

The Scientific Research Center is administered under the auspices of the University of Zakho. The center positions itself to make fundamental contributions to the advancement of research and development. In addition, the Scientific Research Center aims to conduct scientific research in various sectors according to national priorities and the world.

Nowadays, there is an urgent and growing need for scientific research and its support at all levels; as the developments and inflation in life aspects have become rapid and unprecedented.

The research at the Scientific Research Center crosses disciplinary boundaries and reinvents progress in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, Computational Science, Remote sensing and GIS, and Neuro-Robotics. The ultimate mission of the Scientific Research Center is to provide support for scientific discoveries and technological innovations in KRG, and hence help gain competitive advantages for the nation.

It is my conviction that the mission of our center can only be achieved by bringing together the best minds across different disciplines in an environment that advocates the exchange of ideas and the development of collaborations. To this end, the Scientific Research Center will explore all avenues to attract talented researchers from different national and international universities and create every opportunity for scientists to meet, work, and form networks that last a lifetime.

The Scientific Research Center has become a profoundly significant directory at the University of Zakho. I am here to anticipate its future, one that will rely on the efforts of colleagues, collaborators, and researchers, and one that will surely be splendid.
