“Comprehensive Development: The Optimal Path for a Better Life”
December 28-29, 2024
Al-Kitab University announces the First International Scientific Conference on Development and Humanitarian and Administrative Studies, officially approved by the Directorate of Research and Development of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Republic of Iraq, approval number T/2/7793, dated 8/8/2024. We invite researchers and experts to submit their research papers, which will be published in Scopus-indexed repositories and several peer-reviewed academic journals.
Al-Kitab University aims to make this significant scientific event a turning point in its current and future direction toward enhancing scientific advancement on both local and international levels, under the perspective of comprehensive development as the most secure global direction for a better future for humanity.
Conference Overview
Today, development, scientific research, and innovation goals represent an action plan for individuals and institutions, particularly in the most advanced and stable nations, aiming to enhance prosperity and stability. Issues such as poverty, unemployment, limited educational opportunities, and declining healthcare services have become paramount objectives for governments and global and local organizations. The risks posed by these issues are serious global challenges affecting every aspect of life.
In the field of development sciences, achieving stability and social peace has become directly linked to the scale and seriousness of comprehensive development programs. Advanced development plans have become essential tools in resolving complex issues facing societies. This conference aims to establish an international scientific partnership among experts and specialists, operating through clear mechanisms to address developmental program gaps, re-evaluate ineffective programs, and contribute to efforts to safeguard humanity from these outlined risks.
Moreover, it highlights the continued issues facing global development programs, including challenges in achieving satisfactory success rates despite sound planning, funding, and implementation. In an era marked by advanced artificial intelligence and digital technologies, insufficiently accurate employment of these resources contributes to ineffective development programs, requiring a more precise application of knowledge networks aligned with high standards of scientific research.
