With the participation of 167 papers from more than 60 universities and scientific institutions from around the world, the Islamic University organized the Sixth Iraqi International Conference for Engineering Technology and its Applications. The conference was held in partnership and cooperation with the IEEE, one of the largest scientific institutions in the world. It is an important step that represents the strategic partnership relationship between the Islamic University and the reputable international institutions, in order to serve Iraq in all fields, including the purely scientific fields. The conference aims also to boost the scientific standing of Iraqi universities and their position as leaders in advanced technological fields at the national, regional, and international levels.
Dr. Ammar Al-Salami, the President of the University, his assistants, deans of faculties, and heads of departments, along with representatives of a number of universities and academic institutions in Iraq, attended the conference’s opening.
