Under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Hassan Shaker Majdi, President of Mustaqbal University, the Office of Scientific and Academic Supervision, in coordination with the National Center for Copyright and Related Rights, organized a scientific seminar on Tuesday morning, July 8, entitled “Highlighting the Importance of Registering Scientific Research as an Original Scientific Work.” The event was held at Mustaqbal University.

The seminar aimed to raise awareness among researchers about the importance of registering their scientific research under the provisions of the amended Copyright Protection Law No. (3) of 1971. This law grants researchers official certificates for registering their scientific works, thus safeguarding their intellectual property and fostering a culture of respect for intellectual rights within academic institutions.

This seminar aligns with Goal 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals (Quality Education), which calls for inclusive, equitable, and quality education for all, and promotes lifelong learning opportunities—including empowering researchers to understand their intellectual rights and legally document their academic outputs.

The seminar witnessed the presence of several representatives from the Ministry of Culture, including Mr. Yasser Ali Hussein and Mr. Musab Kamil Makki, in addition to Prof. Dr. Waleed Al-Jarrah, Director of Scientific Affairs at the Iraqi Association of Inventors and Innovators, as well as a large group of professors and department heads from various faculties at Mustaqbal University.

Mr. Musab Kamil Makki delivered a valuable lecture addressing copyright and related rights. His presentation was well received by the attendees and sparked a rich discussion due to its informative and practical content.

At the conclusion of the seminar, the Director of the Office of Scientific and Academic Supervision presented certificates of appreciation to the participants in recognition of their efforts and contributions to the success of this distinguished scientific event. A group photo was taken to commemorate the occasion, with sincere hopes for continued progress in supporting and enhancing scientific and academic output within our institutions.
