Palestine Academy for Science and Technology is an autonomous public, not-for-profit organization with its headquarters in Jerusalem and branches in Ramallah and Gaza. Established by presidential decree No. 114 in 1997 and reconfirmed by presidential decree No. 13 in 2004, the Academy is mandated to be the primary science and technology body in the country in charge of providing advice in formulating policies, programs and projects to support national development and participating in the coordination of relevant scientific and technological (S&T) activities. As a result, the Academy constitutes the focal point and an umbrella for science and technology. The Academy aims at institutionalizing scientific and technological research in Palestine, promoting scientific discovery and innovative technological advances, in addition to fostering the use of science and technology in various domains. Furthermore, it aspires to obtain a fundamental role in coordinating scientific efforts between the private & the public sectors in order to encourage a strong national economy that is globally competitive through the support of the Palestinian science and technology base and through partnerships with governmental, non-governmental, local and international bodies.
