The Planning and Development Department was established in 1985 at Palestine Polytechnic University as the visionary and supporting arm of PPU that aims at keeping the excellence of all programs and services through understanding needs and creating plans, proposing solutions and seeking funds through funded projects to help Polytechnic’s success and development. This shows in the establishment of sustainable projects turned into operational departments, academic programs, community outreach divisions and service centers. Also, the Planning and Development department helps in developing modern academic and operational approaches and methodologies through international partnerships and cooperation.
