Research is a precursor to discovery and innovation. Our future and our world-positioning is largely defined by the magnitude of fundamental as well as applied research carried out. The role of academic institutions is to generate and propagate continuous interactions between experts and students to create an environment where novel ideas are born and find application.

The Faculty's primary objectives are:

• Creating a favorable research environment.
• Identifying research potential, its integration, and providing a suitable framework.
• Coordination of research and development activities in the University.
• Providing financial and strategic support to researchers.
• Assisting researchers in securing external funding.
