In a new international academic achievement reflecting the growing global presence of Al-Mustaqabal University, the university received a prestigious recognition from UNESCO and the European Union in appreciation of its outstanding efforts and leadership in the fields of green economy and digital transformation. This accomplishment once again confirms the university’s position as one of the leading educational institutions committed to sustainable development and the integration of advanced technologies within academic and research environments.
The recognition came as a result of the university delegation’s active participation in the specialized workshop held in Erbil, where the university was represented by Professor Dr. Salwan Obaid, Director of the Energy Research Center, alongside Dr. Mohammed Maytham. Over the course of three days, the delegation delivered a series of scientific presentations and specialized discussions highlighting the university’s projects and initiatives in sustainable energy and digital transformation.
The honor included the President of the University, Professor Dr. Hassan Shaker Majdi, the Dean of the College of Engineering Technologies, Professor Dr. Azhar Mohsen Abd, and Professor Dr. Salwan Obaid, in recognition of the university’s institutional and scientific efforts in promoting sustainability concepts and advancing technological innovation in line with modern global trends.
The workshop was also attended by representatives of UNESCO and the European Union, who praised the advanced academic standards demonstrated by Al-Mustaqabal University, emphasizing that the university’s projects and initiatives represent a distinguished academic model among Iraqi universities. The representatives expressed their high appreciation for this excellence through their direct participation in the award ceremony.
This achievement carries particular significance as Al-Mustaqabal University was the only Iraqi university officially invited and honored during the activities of this international workshop, reflecting the strong international confidence in its scientific projects and developmental strategies in the fields of sustainable development and digital innovation.
In a related context, a UNESCO representative announced ongoing coordination for an upcoming official visit to Al-Mustaqabal University aimed at expanding scientific and academic cooperation and exploring partnership opportunities in projects related to energy, sustainability, and digital transformation.
Through this new international achievement, Al-Mustaqabal University continues to strengthen its academic presence and reinforce its position as a pioneering Iraqi university steadily moving toward global excellence and institutional leadership.
