In implementation of the directives of the President of Al-Mustaqbal University, Professor Dr. Hassan Shaker Majdi, and as part of the university’s commitment to its social responsibility and developmental role in serving the community, identifying priority development challenges across various sectors, and linking them with academic and research institutions to develop evidence-based scientific and practical solutions, Engineer Khalid Kadhim Al-Salihi, Director of the Scientific Outputs Marketing Division at the university, paid an official visit to the Babil Governorate Office. During the visit, Al-Salihi met with the Deputy Governor for Planning Affairs, the Deputy Governor for Administrative Affairs, the Director of the Public Policy and Planning Directorate, and a number of specialists to discuss mechanisms for utilizing the scientific and research capabilities of Al-Mustaqbal University to address the challenges facing the governorate’s institutions and key sectoral departments, particularly in the fields of water, energy, environment, youth and sports, urban planning, municipalities, roads and bridges, local security, and agriculture. The meeting also explored ways to transform these challenges into research themes and applied studies to be undertaken by the university’s faculty members and researchers through their scientific projects, theses, and dissertations. Both sides emphasized the importance of establishing an effective partnership between Al-Mustaqbal University and state institutions to ensure that scientific research is directed toward addressing real-world issues affecting citizens’ lives and supporting sustainable development efforts across the governorate. For his part, Al-Salihi stated that this initiative represents a practical step toward marketing scientific outputs and aligning them with actual community needs by transforming academic knowledge into applicable solutions that support decision-makers, improve public services, and enhance institutional performance. He also noted that the university had previously sent an official letter to the governorate’s departments and institutions expressing its readiness to translate development challenges across economic, social, service, and environmental sectors into applied studies, research projects, and graduation projects. This visit comes as part of Al-Mustaqbal University’s ongoing efforts to reinforce the concept of a productive and socially impactful university and to strengthen the integration between scientific research and local development requirements, contributing to a tangible and sustainable developmental impact in Babil Governorate.
