Research
Research is carried out by departments of faculty
The Department of Environment and Ecology provides high-level research and experimental developments in the fields of ecology and environmental science, environmental engineering, chemical engineering, agronomy and forestry. It prepares high level scientists in ecology and environmental areas; participates in environmental engineering, agronomy and forestry PhD study process.
