To promote human, scholarly, and scientific collaborations, the Centre for Future Studies (CFS) and the School of Foreign Studies at Three Gorges University in China signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

The CFS and the School of Foreign Studies at Three Gorges University of China formally decided on Tuesday to sign a memorandum of understanding, which was based on cooperative efforts and academic exchange, after numerous meetings and discussions.

"This MOU would further enhance the scientific collaboration and cooperative research efforts between CFS and the School of Foreign Studies at Three Gorges University, which holds a prestigious global scientific rating," Dr. Omed Rafiq Fatah, Deputy Director of the CFS, told PUKMEDIA.

"We will work together to conduct joint research with an emphasis on Iraq and Kurdistan. Additionally, we will cooperate in the field of strategic security research and other areas of priority," he added.

This MOU states that cooperation will take place in three areas shortly: providing scholarships in China, arranging joint conferences and academic events in both countries and facilitating research opportunities and cultural cooperation for researchers.

According to Dr. Omed, the MOU's initial decision has been implemented. This decision entails providing two full-fee scholarships at the university for individuals pursuing master's and doctoral degrees.

The CFS representative's unique attendance as a keynote speaker at the school's special conference in China will also mark the beginning of the collaboration.

Future Studies Centre (CFS) is a non-profit scientific research organisation founded in 2016 to serve the public good. It has been approved by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of Iraq's Kurdistan Region.
