About

The Royal Scientific Society (RSS) is an independent, non-governmental, not-for profit science institution established by Royal Charter in 1970. 
Founded from the vision of His Majesty the Late King Hussein and HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal, the RSS supports
Jordan’s development with technical and policy advice. Today, the RSS, chaired by HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal and led by HRH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan, stands as a knowledge leader in science and technology. Based in Amman, the RSS operates from a 340,000 square meter campus with over 600 experts and partnerships in more than 20 countries.

Its mission is to protect human health and safety, safeguard the environment, and promote sustainable economic development. 
As a recognized leader in research and innovation, RSS addresses challenges at local and global levels through accredited testing, research, and technical expertise.

The RSS brings extensive experience in energy, water, and environment through its two centers of The National Energy Research Centre (NERC) and The Water, Environment and Climate Change Centre (WECCC).

NERC specializes in renewable energy and energy efficiency, offering turnkey project solutions and consultancy. WECCC leads in water quality, environmental management, climate adaptation, and smart agriculture, collaborating with communities to create sustainable, locally adapted solutions.

Through an interdisciplinary approach, the RSS delivers holistic solutions, advancing sustainable development and empowering communities with education, policy guidance, and evidence-based initiatives.
