Initiatives and Activities

Al-Ayen Iraqi University has established five memorandums of understanding with renowned Iranian universities, including Khwarizmi, Shahid Beheshti, Sharif University of Technology, Urmia, and Ferdowsi University, three of which rank highly in the Shanghai, Times, and QS classifications. These agreements cover collaborative research on advanced topics like nanotechnology applications in medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy, as well as joint efforts in alternative energy, such as a mid-size wind turbine project, and oil sector challenges, including radon gas mitigation and polymer-based enhancements for oil extraction in older fields. This initiative aligns with SDG 4, SDG 9, and SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy). Link: https://alayen.edu.iq/news/details/1563


  • Al-Ayen Iraqi University’s Continuing Education Center, in collaboration with the Tree Planting Unit, held a scientific workshop, titled "Climate Change and the Use of Technology in Supporting Clean Energy and Reducing Emissions." Director of the Dhi Qar Environment Directorate, delivered a lecture highlighting technology’s role in promoting clean energy and reducing emissions. This event aligns with SDG 7, SDG 13: Climate Action, and SDG 4 by raising environmental awareness, fostering sustainable practices, and facilitating knowledge exchange to address climate-related challenges.
