The workshop discussed the concept of the scientific researcher’s identity and its importance in building a sound academic career, with a focus on the particularity of the research identity of the University of Mosul as a long-established institution that plays a pivotal role in knowledge production and community service. It addressed the mechanisms for building an effective research identity, including clarity of specialization, adherence to scientific methodology and academic ethics, as well as the importance of scientific publishing and digital identity in strengthening the researcher’s presence and representing the university in local and regional academic circles.
