The College of Science at the University of Baghdad held a celebration on the occasion of National Sovereignty Day, attended by the President of the University of Baghdad, Prof. Dr. Alaa Abdul Hassan Atiyah Hassan; the Assistant President of the University for Administrative Affairs, Prof. Dr. Raghad Abdul Razzaq Al-Hashimi; and the Dean of the College of Science, Prof. Dr. Raed Falih Hassan, along with a number of professors and students.
In his remarks during the ceremony, the President of the University of Baghdad affirmed that sovereignty is not merely a political concept but a comprehensive national responsibility. It begins with the strength of the state and the rule of law and extends to building the individual, entrenching knowledge, achieving development, and strengthening Iraq’s ability to shape its future through the will and competence of its people.
He noted that the mother university plays a pivotal role in consolidating national awareness and preparing generations capable of contributing to the building of the country’s future, stressing that science and knowledge are two fundamental pillars in strengthening the independence of the state and supporting its progress.
On this occasion, the University of Baghdad renewed its commitment to continuing its academic and national mission and to contributing to building a society founded on science, knowledge, awareness, and responsibility, thereby advancing Iraq’s path toward a more stable, progressive, and prosperous future.
This activity supports the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal Four, which calls for quality education, as well as Goal Seventeen, concerning partnerships for achieving the goals.
