The Scientific Studies and Research Center (SSRC), better known by its French name Centre D'Etudes et de Recherches Scientifiques (CERS),[3][4] is a Syrian government agency that has the goal of advancing and coordinating scientific and military research activities in the country.[4][5] It works on research and development for the economic and social development of Syria, especially the computerization of government agencies.[5] It is considered to have better technical capacity and equipment than the Syrian universities.[4] Jane's Information Group Intelligence Services and other analysts believe it is responsible for research and development of nuclear, biological, chemical and missile technology and weapons,[4][5] including ballistic missiles, as well as advanced conventional arms.[6]

CERS is run by a director-general with the rank of minister, who is directly responsible to the president. Current Director General is Dr. Amr Armanazi.[2] It provides most research and development functions for the Syrian military. Since the 1970s, CERS has also been responsible for the development of civilian science and technology in Syria, and it was on this basis that CERS was able to develop cooperative relationships with Western chemical companies.[7]
