The Dean of the Center of Urban and Regional Planning, Professor Dr. Kareem Hassan Alwan, received a delegation from the Karbala Center for Studies and Research, affiliated with the Al-Hussainiya Pilgrimage, along with several members of the committee responsible for the Tenth Scientific Conference on the Arba’een Pilgrimage, scheduled to begin next August, to discuss the latest developments regarding participation in the conference.
The delegation then proceeded to the Center for Educational and Psychological Research to meet with its director, Professor Dr. Fadhil Shaker Al-Saadi, to discuss avenues of cooperation for participation in the Arba’een conference. The research will focus on the educational dimensions of the Arba’een pilgrimage and its psychological impact on the pilgrims of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him).
The delegation also visited the College of Artificial Intelligence, the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, the College of Science for Women, and the College of Science, meeting with the deans and discussing the university’s scientific participation in the conference, where it is expected to make a significant academic contribution. In the same context, a delegation from the Karbala Center visited Professor Dr. Raghad Abdul-Razzaq Al-Hashemi, Assistant President of the University of Baghdad for Administrative Affairs, at his office to discuss avenues for scientific and academic cooperation and support for the Arbaeen Conference. This visit aimed to strengthen scientific partnerships that contribute to the development of studies related to the Arbaeen pilgrimage and its religious, cultural, and social dimensions. Al-Hashemi affirmed the University of Baghdad’s readiness to provide scientific and research support for the conference through the participation of its professors and researchers in presenting studies and scientific papers, as well as contributing to the scientific and organizational committees to ensure the success of this international scientific event. Meanwhile, the delegation from the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussein expressed its appreciation for the university’s role and academic standing, commending its ongoing cooperation in supporting all scientific events and conferences.
This step comes to introduce some of the university’s formations to the nature of the conference, the nature of the studies and research, and the mechanisms for participation and publication in it, as well as the themes and topics that will be included in the conference’s activities on its two days, in light of the great million-person visit that Iraq in general and Karbala in particular are witnessing, which embodies the Husseini message and its humanitarian and doctrinal concepts through the scientific themes presented in the conference, which has achieved great success in recent years.
