The Central Science Laboratory (CSL) of the University of Rajshahi is a premier multidisciplinary research facility dedicated to advancing scientific inquiry and innovation. Established in 2005, CSL was founded to meet the growing need for a centralized hub that could support research across the physical, chemical, biological and agricultural sciences.

As a well-equipped, staffed facility, CSL provides shared access to major research instruments and technologies, serving multiple faculties, institutes, and departments within the university. Over the years, CSL has played a vital role in introducing and deploying advanced technologies, fostering internationally recognized research, and contributing to scientific progress with societal impact.

Beyond supporting the academic community, CSL also extends its services to local organizations and industries, offering access to sophisticated equipment and scientific expertise that are otherwise unavailable in the Rajshahi region.
