Overview

The field of social responsibility is essential for universities due to their objectives, missions and influential role in societies in addition to their ability to address community issues as well as their main role in the admission and graduation of students and scientific research.

This requires them to find a body that is organizationally linked to the senior management of the university to serve as authority through which the university can carry out its tasks of social responsibility and achieving its goals.

The social responsibility of the university means the commitment to a set of principles and values through the university main functions.
The essence of the social role of universities is to commit to justice, credibility, excellence and the promotion of social equality and sustainable development. Therefore, the social responsibility of universities is becoming increasingly important and more urgent in this era of scientific and technical progress and innovation.

Universities need to apply new techniques and knowledge to meet the major challenges including poverty, health, food and unemployment plus having long-term goals for the challenges facing society, encouraging peace and solidarity among community members.
