Projects

 

University of Nizwa, Oman

The University of Nizwa was the first not-for-profit University to be established within the Sultanate of Oman.  The University was founded in 2004 and has now been accredited.  The price of scientific analytical instrumentation within the Gulf region has made it prohibitively expensive, RORO has assisted with the establishment of the DARIS Research Centre by shipping a variety of mass spectrometers, scanning electron microscopes and chromatographs.
