It defines the center's purposes, operational areas, governance bodies, and working procedures under the authority of the Higher Education Law No. 2547. The center's primary goals include coordinating interdisciplinary R&D activities across university units, providing shared research infrastructure, supporting technology transfer via the Technology Transfer Office (TTO), and commercializing innovative projects. Activities span laboratory services, quality control, prototype development, patent acquisition, and collaboration with industry and international organizations. Governance is structured around three bodies: a Director (appointed by the Rector for 3-year terms), a Board of Directors (7 members including Director and two deputies), and an Advisory Board (10–30 members, meeting at least once annually). The Director serves as the spending authority and is accountable to the Rector. The regulation entered into force on its publication date of March 24, 2026, and is executed by the Rector of Harran University.
