The department of science of Armenian National Agrarian University was established in April, 2012. Yet in 1972 in Armenian Agricultural Institute and Yerevan Zoo Veterinary Institute scientific-research sectors were being organized, both had a common goal to coordinate and organize scientific works and papers. In August, 1998 the scientific sector was reorganized at Armenian Agricultural Academy, then the science department funded by government was established according to the necessity of a new form of science financing from the RA state budget. It had been headed by A. Aghababyan. Hrachya Tspnetsyan, doctor of economics, professor has been appointed as vice-rector for science since October, 2018.
Upon to the structural changes made by ANAU Board of Trustees on 6 November, 2018 the division of science coordination, scientific library, Scientific Research Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology, Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture Mechanization and Automation, H. Petrosyan Scientific Center of Soil Science, Melioration and Agrochemistry, Voskehat Educational and Research Center for Enology, Scientific Center for Agrobiotechnology, Laboratory of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Sanitary Expertise, Laboratory of Genetics, Selection and Feeding of Agricultural Animals, Agrarian Policy and Economics Research Center (APERC), Laboratory of Pesticide Synthesis and Plant Protection, Laboratory of Ecology and Organic Agriculture, Laboratory of Genofond and Selection of Plants, Biological Research Laboratory work under the supervision of vice-rector for science. The University, organizing its scientific activity, closely collaborates with the universities and scientific educational institutions in the Republic and abroad – Russia, the USA, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Germany, China, Spain, France, Norway, Serbia, Japan.

Organizing and analyzing scientific activities implemented in scientific subdivisions and chairs of the university
Information assurance for the University’s scientific activity,
