Who We Are:
The Researchist is a scientific research community for ambitious youth, which organizes workshops in research methodology and provides research opportunities for students in health sciences, engineering and natural sciences. The community began its journey as an initiative established by medical students in 2019 at An-Najah National University, then it expanded to include students from different universities in Gaza and West Bank. Now, The Researchist contains students from several Arab countries such as Syria, Jordan and Egypt. Currently, we are carrying out online and offline workshops and we aspire to enter the research world in fields of humanities and social sciences.
Our Goals:
