The Uiversity of Jordan plays a significant and pivotal role in advancing environmental sustainability through research, training, services and education. The Center's researchers are full-time researchers and their research and projects focus directly on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the future plan of the WEEC is to conduct more research and collaborative projects he Water, Energy, and Environment Center (WEEC) at the Unin order to achieve sustainability goals.
The research center is committed to continuous collaboration in regional and international scientific projects and services funded by various entities such as European, USAID, UNDP, GIZ, JAICA and CIDA projects, to achieve the goals of environmental and water resources sustainability by integrating technological, and institutional and social aspects into a cohesive framework. The center focuses on training, such as staff training in cooperation with relevant actors in the field of Environmental Sustainability to achieve a safe, clean and healthy environment for dealing the center's various laboratories and their chemical materials, which has a significant impact on the entire environment.
