Research at the University of Gabés

• With its young teams, the University of Gabès aims to develop its research potential for the training of future university researchers and for the socio-economic development of the region and the country. In 2003, when the University of Gabès was established around old and new university institutions__some of which had started since 1975__the university had only six research facilities. The University of Gabès now has four research laboratories (LR) and eighteen research units (RU) as well as four Joint Research Services Units (USCR)  

• These research structures bring together 352 permanent researchers (2017) and provide research training by hosting 500 PhD students (2017) and no less than 240 RMs each year. Each research structure is integrated into an institution and operates under the responsibility of a leader (A College Research Professor). All structures benefit from research support managed by the Directorate-General for Scientific Research. The LR/UR develop national and international research projects in partnership with similar academic structures and with socio-economic companies and organizations.
