The Deanship of Scientific Research was established in 1442 AH with the aim of providing an attractive and stimulating environment that supports excellence, creativity, and innovation. It achieves this by supporting and encouraging all innovative scientific research activities for faculty members, researchers, and graduate students. Additionally, the Deanship works to provide the necessary financial and technical support within the limits of allocated budgets, propose regulations, rules, and procedures that organize scientific research at the university, and motivate faculty members and researchers to conduct innovative scientific research.
The Deanship also provides research tools and resources, enabling researchers to conduct their work in a suitable scientific environment. It organizes communication with research centers outside the university and develops cooperation to benefit from the latest advancements. Furthermore, the Deanship establishes a database of ongoing and completed research at the university and facilitates the exchange of research information with other universities and research centers.
The Deanship strives to build partnerships and relationships with leading local, regional, and global research centers to elevate the level of research work in a way that supports national development goals and promotes research in modern technologies, renewal, and innovation across various fields of knowledge.
