According to the Policy of Openness adopted by Al-Mustaqbal University, which aims to promoting Strategic Partnerships with various Government Institutions and other Sectors, being mainly represented by Prof Dr. Hasan Shakir Majdi, the University President, there has been a distinguished role to Al-Mustaqbal University in the First Meeting of the Project intending to establish Technology & Innovation Supporting Centers in Iraq (TISCs).
It is remarkable to note that this Meeting has been conducted in coordination with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), being convened at the Headquarters of the Central Agency for Standardization and Quality Control, attended by Dr. Fayyadh Muhammad Abid, Head of the Agency, Prof. Dr. Suhail Najm Abid, President Assistant of Baghdad University, Prof. Dr. Mudhaffar Sadiq Al-Zuhairi, Director of Scientific & Academic Supervision at Al-Mustaqbal University, and Dr. Sameer Ibrahim Badrawi, Director of Cultural Relations, in addition to a number of Officials at the Directorate of Patents & Industrial Designs.
We are obliged to note that the Agency President has pointed out in his Opening Speech that choosing Al-Mustaqbal University, in addition to the University of Baghdad, as Essential and Active Partners in this important project has not come out of nowhere, but rather because both Universities do enjoy a Scientific and Academic Reputation, with highly distinguished efforts in the Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals, and thus occupying a Major Role in Higher Education Sector at Local and International Levels.
For his part, Prof Dr. Mudhaffar Sadiq Al-Zuhairi, Director of Scientific & Academic Supervision at Al-Mustaqbal University, has emphasized the importance of working on the success of this Promising Project that would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the implementation of the Development Plan as Ideas, Initiatives and Qualitative Research shall be transferred into Real Projects.
Finally, it is worth noting that TISCs shall focus on providing support to Researchers so that they could have easy access to Electronic Sources of Scientific and Technical Patents as well as Publications regarding Intellectual Property, all along with proper training, and providing basic information on Industrial Property Laws, Management, Strategies, Technology Exploitation and Marketing.
