Enviromental Research Centres
with Focus on Sustainability
Four flagship research stations and centres — each a living laboratory for sustainability science, student training, and environmental stewardship across land, water, and energy.
WEEC — Water, Energy & Environment Centre
University of Jordan · 10 Full-time Researchers · Est. 1982
The UJ Water, Energy, and Environment Centre plays a crucial role in advancing environmental sustainability research, training, and education. The centre contributes to developing curricula and teaching courses for undergraduate and graduate students across Engineering, Agriculture, Marine Sciences, and other schools, and actively collaborates on international projects with leading global agencies.

Agricultural Research Station
University of Jordan · Est. 2019 · Central Jordan Valley
Located in the Central Jordan Valley (Deir Alla) — approximately 370 m below sea level — the Department of Agricultural Research is the operational and production arm of the School of Agriculture. Established in 2019, it addresses challenges facing Jordan's agricultural sector while generating investment income for the university, and serves as the primary field for practical training, hands-on lessons, and agricultural production.
Marine Science Station — Aqaba
University of Jordan · Red Sea Coastline · Undergraduate & Graduate Programmes
The Marine Science Station (MSS), located on the Gulf of Aqaba, is Jordan's premier marine research facility. Operated by the University of Jordan, it provides specialised research infrastructure for marine biology, coastal ecology, aquatic environmental science, and fisheries management. The station collaborates directly with WEEC and the Agricultural Stations to achieve integrated environmental sustainability across land and sea.
Hamdi Mango Center for Scientific Research
University of Jordan · Advanced Research Infrastructure · Cross-School Collaboration
The Hamdi Mango Center for Scientific Research is the University of Jordan's flagship multidisciplinary research hub, providing state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, advanced instrumentation, and collaborative research environments to school and graduate students across all disciplines. The centre plays a central role in supporting sustainability-oriented research through analytical services, funded project management, and partnerships with industry and international institutions.
