The Centre was established in 2002 under the name of “energy research group” in which the related research were conducted by members since 1995 inclusive of hydro power, bio-diesel, solar, environment and energy efficient building. In mid-2009, the Centre of Excellence for Renewable Energy (CoERE) was officially established by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. However, early year 2015, during the mandate from vice chancellor of UNIMAS, the CoERE was officially rebranded to a new name, Centre For Renewable Energy (CREN)

The Malaria Research Centre (MRC) was established as one of the two Centres of Excellence by UNIMAS in January 2006. This was in recognition of the major contributions to malaria research by Prof Balbir Singh, Prof Janet Cox-Singh and co-researchers at the Malaria Research Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. These two scientists joined UNIMAS in 1999 to establish laboratory-based research in the new Medical Faculty and with financial support from UNIMAS, they were instrumental in designing and equipping state-of-the-art research laboratories. The acquisition of research grants from Wellcome Trust, United Kingdom, the Malaysian Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment and UNIMAS, enabled them to train young scientists and establish an active group of researchers working on malaria.
