Invitation to Event in Washington on Higher Education in Iraq

The Embassy of Iraq’s Cultural Office, the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Representation to the United States, and the U.S. Department of State will hold a one-day conference to strengthen relationships between U.S. universities and the three Iraqi scholarship programs that send thousands of students abroad for master’s and doctorate degrees each year.  The conference will include scholarship program updates, techniques to recruit and integrate Iraqi students and families to American campuses, faculty exchanges and PostDoc research funding, and opportunities to share Best Practices and Lessons Learned.  Be part of the discussion on how to transition the US-Iraqi relationship from transacting scholarship admissions to helping Iraq transform its higher education system.
