The session also reviewed the importance of developing curricula in accordance with quality and academic accreditation standards, and enhancing the capabilities of instructors in designing curricula and courses that contribute to preparing graduates who possess the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary to keep pace with scientific and technological developments and labor market requirements.

The session emphasized the importance of adopting modern educational practices and developing the academic environment in line with the directions of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and in a way that supports achieving more efficient and effective educational outcomes.

faculty member from the Biomedical Informatics College received a certificate of excellence in the field of scientific research evaluation

In an academic achievement that reflects the University of Information Technology and Communications’ keenness to develop the capabilities of its teaching staff and enhance its scientific presence at the regional and international levels, Dr. Mays Abdul Hadi Al-Sharqi, Head of the Bioinformatics Department at the Biomedical Informatics College, successfully passed the “Certified Peer Reviewer” course offered by the Academy of Researchers affiliated with Elsevier, the world’s leading scientific publishing institution.

Al-Sharqi received the Certificate of Excellence after completing all the training and specialized units of the course, which is one of the advanced academic programs aimed at qualifying researchers and academics to carry out the tasks of rigorous scientific evaluation of researches submitted for publication in international scientific journals.

This certification is particularly significant as it is issued by Elsevier, one of the world’s largest and most prestigious scientific publishers, and “Peer Review” is considered as a cornerstone of ensuring the quality of scientific research, as peer-reviewed journals rely on it to review and scrutinize researches before publication, and through this achievement, Dr. Mays Al-Sharqi has become a certified peer reviewer, possessing the necessary scientific and ethical skills to evaluate research according to internationally recognized standards.

This achievement contributes to enhancing the quality of the research process and raising the level of scientific rigor, as well as supporting the academic reputation of the college and the university, which is reflected positively on quality indicators and international university rankings, and enhances the university’s presence in the global scientific research environment.
