Preview:
The idea of establishing a specialized Informatics center for research and rehabilitation was formulated in 2008. The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research approved in 2010 to activate the Informatics in a society living mentally, but not in an Informatics way. Informatics as a scientific concept is still far away from the majority of society because of the conditions of our country throughout the last decades, which have increased the gap between our community and other communities in the field of Informatics.
The crucial factor in the society life will revolve around knowledge and the core of the social system and the major social organizations of future society will be attracted to the university as a center of incremental knowledge. the effective participation in creating  tools and software is the only way to make use of the information technology, and this can be done through improving and developing institutions that are capable of bringing forth knowledge and employing that knowledge for the good of the society.
The main tasks attributed to universities are: education, scientific research, and serving society. Informatics plays a very critical role in achieving these three important functions, starting with the development of methods employed in Informatics up to the stage of developing software programs that contribute to the process of serving our society with different ways. The Informatics assumes a crucial part in social and knowledge change.

Vision:
The Informatics center aims to create a creative scientific research system based on innovation, market and community needs, and holds responsible for finding solutions of every scientific and applicative problem in the IT field; Moreover, the center works on improving the knowledge and scientific level of individuals and institutions in order to create an advanced Informatics society.

Mission:
The center's mission focuses on the following:
