SKRC Chairman Dr. Eng. Azmi Al-Eesa Meets with President of the Iraqi Engineers Union: Exploring Collaboration in Engineering and Research
In a landmark meeting
aimed at fostering international collaboration, Dr. Eng. Azmi Al-Eesa, Chairman
of the Swedish Knowledge & Research Center (SKRC), met with the President
of the Iraqi Engineers Union, Engineer Zulfiqar Houshi Al-Maksousy, at the
Union’s headquarters in Baghdad. This meeting is part of SKRC’s ongoing efforts
to strengthen ties with engineering communities across Iraq and Europe, paving
the way for future cooperation in engineering education and research.
Exploring Shared Goals for Engineering Excellence
SKRC’s Chairman
focused on several areas of mutual interest, with a particular emphasis on
engineering training, knowledge dissemination, and the exchange of technical
expertise. Dr. Al-Eesa invites to sit the foundation for a collaborative effort
aimed at benefiting the engineering community in Iraq by providing access to
global advancements in engineering education and research.
Engineering Training Courses: Advancing Skills for the Future
One of the key topics highlighted
by Dr. Al-Eesa was the introduction of specialized engineering training
programs. The aim is to create tailored courses that address the specific needs
and challenges of Iraqi engineers, particularly in the civil, mechanical,
electrical, and environmental engineering sectors. These programs will be
designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical
application, equipping engineers with the skills required to meet real-world
challenges.
The curriculum,
inspired by European and Scandinavian best practices, will cover both advanced
technologies and essential engineering skills, ensuring that engineers are
well-prepared to contribute to Iraq's growing infrastructure and development
projects.
Engineering Consultations: Accessing Global Expertise
Another important area
of discussion was engineering consultations. Dr. Al-Eesa emphasized the value
of leveraging international expertise to provide technical advice on key
engineering projects in Iraq. Through this collaboration, Swedish Research
& Knowledge Centre offers consultations aimed at enhancing project
management, sustainability, and the integration of advanced technologies into
engineering practices.
The meeting invites to a significant step toward deepening ties between the Iraqi Engineers Union and the Swedish Knowledge & Research Center. By focusing on practical solutions such as training programs, consultations, and knowledge sharing, the proposed partnership aims to contribute meaningfully to the future of engineering in Iraq.
In conclusion, Dr.
Al-Eesa explained the growing importance of international cooperation in
addressing the complex challenges of today’s engineering world through making a
significant impact on the professional growth of engineers in Iraq,
contributing to the country’s long-term development goals.
