National Symposium: 7th Excellent Paper Symposium
The anticipation is building as the KScien Organization (https://kscien.org/) prepares to host its 7th Best Paper Award ceremony on November 16, 2024, in collaboration with the Faculty of Education at Tishk International University (TIU) and the College of Science at Salahaddin University Erbil. The symposium promises to be a significant academic event, celebrating innovative research and fostering collaboration among scholars in the Kurdistan Region.
The event will be structured in three parts, beginning with opening speeches from two prominent university leaders: Prof. Dr. Idris Hadi, President of Tishk International University, and Prof. Dr. Kamaran Younis Mohammadamin, President of Salahaddin University Erbil. Their speeches will highlight the importance of academic research and the collaboration between universities in promoting scientific inquiry and educational development.
In the second session, attendees will benefit from two keynote talks from leading field experts. These talks are expected to provide deep insights into current research trends, inspire new ideas, and spark discussions about the region’s future of science and education.
The final session will be the much-anticipated awarding ceremony, a pivotal moment where the top seven research papers selected from a highly competitive pool of submissions will be recognized. This ceremony is not just a formality, but a testament to the importance of academic research and the potential impact it can have on the academic community. The ceremony will conclude with awards presented to the authors of the top papers, celebrating their contributions to advancing knowledge and innovation.
Dr. Fahmi Hussein Kakamad, representing the KScien Organization, expressed his excitement about the upcoming event, stating, “This symposium is not only a celebration of academic excellence but also a platform for fostering dialogue and collaboration among researchers in the Kurdistan Region. We are thrilled to partner with Tishk International University and Salahaddin University to make this event successful.”
The symposium is expected to attract a wide audience, including academics, researchers, students, and professionals, all eager to engage in discussions and explore potential collaborations.
This event reflects the growing academic and scientific influence of the Kurdistan Region and its institutions, which are supported by leading universities in the area.

Brief Information about the Event |
| The KScien organization will organize the 7th Excellent Paper Award symposium with TIU and SUE. The organization evaluated the publications which published in the year 2023 at the whole Iraqi universities. They used the SNAPR
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405857218300652 for the article evaluation.
They evaluated approximately 42300 papers published in 2023 and selected the best 10 articles with 24 authors. Moreover, they selected the most active female researcher and the youngest author. In the ceremony, we will award those winners in front of 500 participants from several Iraqi university colleagues.
The second part of the event will be the panel sessions, during which we will hear seminars from respected professors about academic research paper writing, research topic selection, international collaborations, and common paper rejection reasons. This session will summarize being a strong researcher and allow the young researchers to participate in upcoming events as winners.
The event is very exciting, and we are waiting for the participants to share this fully academic atmosphere. |
