Dear Students,

Arab International University, since its establishment, has realized the importance of scientific research, which is considered as one its tasks and functions. Research is the best indication of the academic level of the University and is the primary and methodological means to deepen knowledge in the Syrian society and to approach the knowledge-society which uses the science and technology for social and economic development and raise its contribution to overall economic growth.

The duties of the academic staff at the university are not limited to teaching and raising the educational attainment level of the students, but also to work to enrich the knowledge by scientific research and application development that contribute to improving the economic and social development in the country.

The Deanship of Scientific Research has been established at AIU and includes specialized units for scientific research in the fields of pharmaceutical sciences, computer engineering, telecommunications, civil engineering sciences and building materials, architectural engineering sciences and interior design, and business management and economy. It can be expanded in the future to include other units concerned with other disciplines. The Scientific Research Council organizes and manages all research activities and provides all required supports and encouragement with all necessary various human, material and moral means. Deanship of Scientific Research is working to attract researchers from academic staff members within the university and researchers from outside the university to work in research as full time or part time researchers. It also seeks to establish working relationships with institutions and industrial companies both public and private to guide applied research in order to serve those actors. The university is working also to establish cooperative relations with domestic and international research centers and universities.

The university' administration has allocated the appropriate budget for research and assign bonuses for researchers and for publishing the result of their research in local and international scientific journals, and also for authoring and translation of scientific books which are published in local and international prestigious publishing houses. Believing in the importance of applied research and development, AIU also dedicated rewards for researcher working in the applied research and development which leads to products or patents registered locally or internationally. Note that in the past few years, the university has published many papers in peer-reviewed Arab and international journals.

Researchers from inside or outside the university are invited to join the Deanship of Academic Research (DAR) in the AIU and participate in scientific and applied research.

The invitation is also extended to all private and public establishment, institution, companies, administration, and industrial companies to introduce their scientific issues, problems or projects (in management, marketing and economics areas, medicines and pharmaceutical sciences, informatics systems and the design of the various application software, power electronics systems, architectural design, urban planning, construction materials, and others) and we will study and find appropriate solutions to them, which would contribute to improving the performance and productivity of these institutions.

The research council will play an important role in the preparation of setting-up postgraduate studies in various disciplines in the Arab International University.
