University of Sulaymaniyah Honours a team of translators.

Professor Dr Kosar Mohammed Ali, President of the University of Sulaymaniyah, has honoured the supervisors and translators of Happiness Around the World Book in recognition of their academic and cultural contribution to making the work accessible to Kurdish readers.

During a meeting held on 10 June 2026, the President welcomed members of the translation team and praised their efforts in producing the Kurdish edition of the book. The recognition reflects the University's commitment to supporting academic translation and fostering cultural exchange through scholarly initiatives.

Speaking on behalf of the team, Dr Harem Osman, a lecturer at the University of Sulaymaniyah, expressed his appreciation for the University's support and acknowledgement.

"We are grateful to the University Presidency for this recognition. Most members of the team are students at the University of Sulaymaniyah from two different colleges, and their dedication played a vital role in the success of this project," he said.

Ahmed Rashid Hamad Murad, a member of the translation team, highlighted the collaborative nature of the initiative. "The project brought together students from several colleges and academic departments across the University. Our goal was to accurately convey the ideas and perspectives presented in the original English text to Kurdish readers," he said.

The team described the book as an important milestone in their translation work and expressed hope of undertaking further academic and cultural projects in the future.
