Activating industrial advisory boards as strategic connectors between the college and stakeholders in both the public and private sectors.

Reviewing and modernizing academic curricula in response to labor market trends and contemporary knowledge frameworks.

Endorsing the roadmap for international scientific conferences and seminars for the 2025–2026 academic year, with a focus on topics such as digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and sustainable development.

Expanding international academic cooperation by activating agreements with regional and global universities.

The council also discussed general strategic directions for the upcoming phase, emphasizing the importance of streamlining student and administrative procedures and fostering an educational environment characterized by efficiency, responsiveness, and collective commitment.

This session stands out as one of the most significant milestones of the current academic year due to the depth of its developmental insights and the administration’s dedication to promoting quality education (SDG 4) and building effective partnerships for sustainable development (SDG 17) — reinforcing the college’s position as a leading academic institution in Iraq and the broader region.
