Conducting research and providing community service are the major responsibilities of universities. Accordingly, Debre Markos University (DMU) is doing its level best in carrying out problem-solving research & demand-driven community service. To successfully accomplish these missions, the university has organized the research and community service wing being headed by a vice president since November 2012.
The Research and Community Service Vice President Office is structured under three directorates; namely, Research and Publication, Community Service, and Haddis Alemayehu Institute of Cultural Studies. These directorates are working to attain the vision of the University to be the leading center of excellence in research and community service by 2020 and to ultimately improve livelihood of the society.
