As a result of the continuous efforts of Prof. Dr. Edrees Muhamad Tahir Harki, the Rector of Erbil Polytechnic University, to internationalize the university and gain international trust, Erbil Polytechnic University became a member of the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) network.
The United Nations, as a global organization, had many members from different countries and included many institutions and organizations in the fields of education, science, culture, and academic development. UNAI was one of those organizations, and it worked with 1,700 institutions in 156 countries to make academic impact through cooperation. Erbil Polytechnic University, as a higher education center in the Kurdistan Region, joined the UNAI network as a new member. It cooperated with the institutions of this organization to achieve the global goals of the United Nations such as peace, human rights, sustainable development, providing education opportunities for refugees and displaced people, and protecting the environment.
It is worth mentioning that Erbil Polytechnic University, in its strategic plan, worked on many of these UNAI goals, especially serving the community and protecting the environment, and took real steps toward them.
