Vision, Mission, and Objectives
Vision:
Regional Studies Center at the University of Mosul has had a clear vision of its scientific career for more than 25 years since its founding on 24 August 1985, based on the necessity that the research centers in Iraq must play a key role not only in decision-making, but in the pursuit of developing Iraq’s relations with regional neighbors, and make it as a guarantee for Iraq’s national interests. The Center starts its research from Iraq and examines Iraq’s ties with its neighbors and its interests in neighboring countries such as Turkey, Iran, and the Arab countries that stem from a central point: the events and developments in each of these countries impact in one way or another other countries.
Mission:
The Center is substantial in presenting studies and research, holding conferences, symposiums, and seminars, issuing books and scientific publications, and preparing staff interested in the situation of Iraq and its external relations with the regional neighboring environment.
Objectives:
Since the decision taken by the Council of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research No. (10) On 24 August 1985, the Center set out several objectives to be achieved, most notably the completion of strategic research and studies on the affairs of Iraq and its neighbors and some Middle Eastern countries to enhance relations with them in the political, cultural, educational and information fields. The Center has many ways through which to fulfill its objectives, including organizing conferences, symposiums, workshops, and seminars; establishing cooperative relations with similar centers inside and outside Iraq, and providing the opportunity for academics to mutual scientific cooperation, issuing books and scientific publications dealing with the Center’s concerns concerning neighboring countries and external relations in a way that helps to establish a system of serious cooperation that is in the interest of all countries of the region which contributes to their development and prevents interference in their internal affairs.
