About

Ruhuna Science Research Circle (RUSREC) was established under the Faculty of Science, University of Ruhuna, in 2014 to encourage and cultivate a research culture among science undergraduates. It has been growing well since its inception and many undergraduates have voluntarily involved in research activities in many areas of science. The faculty and the university provide strong support for research activities taking into account the interests of students and the expertise of their supervisors.
