In compliance with the governmental order, the Environmental Research Unit established in 2005 on the basis of the principle of environmental concern. The unit activated the framework of joint cooperation with all related departments in the province of Kirkuk to assist Iraqi people in supplying the university with environmental projects aimed at identifying the most important ecosystem.

The Environmental Research Unit is one of the research units specializing in research for graduate students and academics, relying on the availability of a wide and varied range of specialized and current research instruments, and may cooperate with numerous Iraqi universities because of the capability that the unit has in this area. Despite the economic conditions that have passed and are passing through the country, the unit has played and continues to play a pioneering role in various environmental activities.

The unit has started many environmental seminars and various environmental activities and events for spreading environmental awareness in addition to cooperation with the governorate departments, such as the departments of environment, health, water resources, agriculture, Veterinary, North Oil Company and North Gas Company from the relevant departments.

Since its formation 15 years ago, the Environmental Research Unit has been equipped with various modern devices from global sources, in implementation of what is required to carry out the tasks assigned to the unit.
