The Department of Civil Engineering at Istanbul Gelisim University had the distinct honor of hosting Prof. Alyaa Abbas AL-Attar, Rector of Northern Technical University (Iraq), for a courtesy visit aimed at fostering academic collaboration and strategic dialogue between the two institutions.
During the visit, a wide range of academic cooperation opportunities were discussed, including the development of joint research projects, bilateral student and faculty exchange programs, and the organization of international symposia and workshops. The potential for interdisciplinary collaboration was also explored in detail, with emphasis on mutual interests in engineering education and innovation.
The visit also provided a platform to share comprehensive information about our university’s academic vision, research infrastructure, and especially the undergraduate and graduate programs offered under the Faculty of Engineering, with a specific focus on the Department of Civil Engineering. Current research conducted in the field of civil engineering was introduced within the framework of our internationally accredited educational structure, certified by ABET, highlighting the department’s commitment to global quality standards. In this context, future interdisciplinary and collaborative project opportunities were thoroughly discussed.
On the occasion of this visit, carried out in a spirit of mutual understanding and academic solidarity, we, as the Department of Civil Engineering at Istanbul Gelişim University, would like to express our sincere pleasure in welcoming Prof. Alyaa Abbas AL-ATTAR to our campus. We hope that the foundations laid during this meeting will soon transform into concrete academic and research outputs, particularly in the field of civil engineering and across other engineering disciplines.
