As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance academic and professional competencies, a group of faculty members from the Remote Sensing Center participated in a specialized training course organized by the Nineveh Future Center for Strategic Studies and delivered by the Canadian Consulting and Research Company (MET-ICG Inc.). The course, entitled “Consulting Methodology in Accordance with International Standards,” lasted for two days and concluded on Sunday, November 8, 2026.

This participation comes as part of efforts to promote knowledge localization and build local capacities in the field of consultancy in accordance with the highest international standards. The course aimed to establish a sound consulting culture that supports development planning within the governorate’s institutions and directorates and helps prevent technical and administrative errors resulting from the absence of specialized expertise.

Furthermore, the certificates awarded to the Center’s faculty members represent a practical step towards strengthening the competitive advantage of academic personnel and providing the local community with experts equipped with internationally recognized methodologies. These competencies will contribute to structuring and regulating consulting services, thereby supporting the advancement of comprehensive development.

The outcomes of this training program are directly aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4: Quality Education and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
