Somali Higher Education Institutions are undergoing a vast transformation in research and innovation. In addition to providing quality teaching and learning services, Somali Higher Education Institutions are in consideration to conduct quality research to create knowledge capital and modern technology.  

SIMAD University is the top leading Somali Higher Education institution dedicated to promoting the research and innovation transformation happening in Somalia. It allocates research funds to provide research grants, research environment, and infrastructure for researchers. SIMAD also encourages local community and industry-focused research and joint research activities with local and international universities.

SIMAD University, as a leading Somali Higher Education Institution, will maintain its activities to support the domestic research and innovation transformation and think outside the box to generate impactful research and innovative solutions for the benefit of societies and science.

Hopefully, this will develop SIMAD University’s research and development tagline: “Transforming Society and Science”.
