As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance legal awareness of intellectual property and protect academic rights, AL_Mustaqbal University organized a specialized scientific symposium entitled:
"The Importance of Registering Scientific Research as Original Works Protected Under the Amended Copyright Law No. 3 of 1971."
The symposium was graciously sponsored by Professor Hassan Shaker Magdy, President of the University, and attended by Professor Muzaffar Sadiq Al-Zuhairi, Director of Scientific and Academic Supervision.
The symposium was organized in coordination with the National Center for Copyright and Related Rights of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Antiquities. It was attended by a select group of representatives from official and academic bodies, including:
Professor Yasser Ali Hussein and Professor Musab Kamil Makki, representatives of the National Center, along with Dr. Walid Al-Jarrah, Director of Scientific Affairs at the Iraqi Inventors and Innovators Association, and a group of university professors and heads of academic departments.
The symposium began with an opening speech by Professor Muzaffar Al-Zuhairi, Scientific and Academic Supervisor. He emphasized the university's commitment to instilling a culture of intellectual property protection, pointing to previous initiatives adopted by the university, most notably the launch of the Intellectual Property Document during its celebration of World Intellectual Property Day.
Professor Musab Kamil from the Ministry of Culture delivered a scientific lecture addressing the legal and procedural aspects of copyright and related rights, highlighting the importance of registering scientific research as intellectual works to ensure its legal protection. The lecture witnessed broad interaction from the audience, with scholarly contributions enriching the dialogue and contributing to a deeper understanding.
