On Friday12th of May 2017, A delegate from the University of Zakho headed by the Assist. Prof. Dr. Lazgin Abdi Jamil, President of the University of Zakho and Dr. Lokman A. Abdulkareem, dean of College of Engineering, visited the Helmholtz Zentrum Rossendurf (HZDR) in Dresden, Germany. HZDR is a renowned German research centre and laboratory which conducts researches in areas of matter, health and energy.
The visit lasted for five days during which they have held meetings with the key members of the centre. Both sides stressed on how to create stronger ties with each other and agreed on future academic related collaborations in the areas of mutual interest such as joint research projects, staff and student training programs, student exchange and fellowship programs and workshops and especially laboratory facilities. One project is already approved by the centre which is going to host undergraduate students of University of Zakho/ College of Engineering for a summer training program in this year which will be fully funded and sponsored by DAAD.
It is worth mentioning that Last year, the centre had hosted and trained 32 undergraduate petroleum engineering and mechanical engineering students of the University of Zakho for a nine days training program from 1st to 9th of October which was focused primarily on multiphase flow measurement techniques.
