The university received a delegation from the Department of Youth Social Development and Rehabilitation, Social Development Division, affiliated with the Holy Imam Hussain Shrine, to discuss mechanisms for launching the Student Creativity and Innovation Forum program, featuring the participation of students from public and private universities across the Holy Karbala Governorate.
The visiting delegation included Mr. Rasheed Al-Okabi, coordinator of the Department of Youth Social Development and Rehabilitation, and Mr. Mustafa Al-Abbasi, head of the Social Monitoring and Counseling Unit. They met with the Vice President for Scientific Affairs, Assistant Professor Dr. Lamia Abdul-Karim Issa, to outline the forum's program, scheduled to be held at Warith Al-Anbiyaa University.
The forum aims to discover skills, talents, ideas, and creative endeavors among students of Karbala universities, preparing a supportive environment to nurture and develop them, and turning promising concepts into applicable projects that benefit society.
According to the organizers, the forum will witness the attendance and participation of several relevant stakeholders, including the Karbala Chamber of Commerce, the Karbala Investment Commission, and representatives from the Ministry of Industry and Minerals, alongside satellite channels and departments of the Holy Imam Hussain Shrine. This broad engagement contributes to providing genuine opportunities to incubate and develop distinguished student initiatives.
The program also features the formation of a joint committee from participating universities to evaluate submitted innovations and select three winning projects, accompanied by financial support for their creators. This initiative aims to assist in advancing these projects and elevating their outcomes, stimulating youth potential, entrenching a culture of innovation, cultivating a spirit of constructive competition among students, and encouraging them to present increasingly sophisticated and effective projects in the future.
