A series of international conferences on Education, Peace and Equity

• Education, Peace, and Equity International Conference 2024 (EPE 2024)

  November 11, 2024 – November 12, 2024

  The Education, Peace, and Equity International Conference seeks to explore the role of education in conflict-affected contexts by bringing together researchers examining the past, present, and future role of education in strengthening the defences of peace.

  Education provides the foundation for positive transformation within a society. Transforming education starts with a reaffirmation of education as a public good and the consequent requirement of guaranteeing the right to quality education for all. This transformation also includes the protection of places of learning and, most importantly, ensuring that education prepares learners not only for work but also strengthens solidarity, expands spaces for common human practices and experiences, and takes necessary action to achieve peaceful and sustainable societies. Protection of education in countries that have suffered from and remain fragile due to wars and ideological conflicts is essential. To inform socially just education systems, the provision for children and young people in contexts of conflict and protracted crises must be understood in relation to the wider social, economic, and political forces at play. To help realise peaceful, just, and sustainable societies, education must continuously adapt and engage with new challenges and complexities.

  INTRODUCTION

  Iraq, including the Kurdistan Region, boasts the world's fifth-largest proven crude oil reserves, standing at 145 billion barrels, which represents 17% of the Middle East's proved reserves and 8% of global reserves. As the second-largest crude oil producer in OPEC, following Saudi Arabia, Iraq witnesses various types of waste resulting from oil and gas production activities. These wastes encompass emission of polluted gasses, oil and sludge, chemicals, disposal of molecular sieves and catalysts, as well as general waste. The volume of waste generated depends on the extent of production and drilling activities, as well as the petroleum and gas industries. While some of these materials are inherently hazardous, effective management can help reduce their environmental impact. Building upon the success of the previous two conferences on petroleum, the organizers, namely Koya University, University of Basrah, Missouri University of Science and Technology, and the President Jalal Talabani Foundation, have decided to continue this significant series by hosting the 3rd International Conference on Petroleum: Waste Management in the Oil and Gas Industry at Koya University in 2024. This event receives support from the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, both from the federal government of Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq. The conference aims to offer a platform for international participants, including academics, researchers, and industrial experts, to establish meaningful connections with organizations and professionals in this promising region. It serves as an avenue to foster research collaborations and training partnerships with Koya University and other educational institutions in the area.

  November 1, 2019 – November 5, 2019

While the congress seeks to address these dynamics and their implications as well as their representation in academic studies on Kurds and Kurdistan from different perspectives, the congress’s core aim is to present a state of the art of the Kurdish studies in different Western countries as well as in Kurdistan. In recent years, Kurdish Studies have experienced considerable developments with many PhD theses been successfully concluded on different topics related to the Kurdish history, language and society from social, political and gendered perspectives. Scholars in Kurdish studies have been motivated to look at different topics, ranging from new political opportunities in Rojava to constitutional rights in Iraqi Kurdistan, from forced displacement to gender relations and gendered violence and from the dynamics of urbanization to the formation of municipal authorities.

  November 27, 2019 – November 28, 2019

  يأتي هذا المؤتمر محاولة وجهد للمساهمة في وضع دستور لأقليم كوردستان، إذ ان أقليم كوردستان يتطلع الى مستقبل جديد قائم على الديموقراطية وسيادة القانون، ومما لاشك فيه فأن الدستور يعدّ وثيقة اساسية لقواعد وأركان الدولة الحديثة لا غنى عنها، ذلك لأنه يمثل أساس النظام السياسي من الناحيتين القانونية والسياسية، إذ ان الدستور قانوناً هو المصدر الأول للتشريعات كافة، وعليه ينبغي ان لا تتعارض أو تتداخل القوانين الصادرة من الدولة ومن السلطة التشريعية مع المرجع الأعلى الا وهو الدستو وسياسياً فأن الدستور يحدد هوية الدولة وشكلها ونوع الحكم فيها، وينظم عمل السلطات والمبدأ الحاكم في العلاقة بين السلطة التشريعية والسلطة التنفيذية والسلطة القضائية اعتماداً على نوع الحكم ، فضلاً عن حماية الحقوق والحريات للمواطنين كافة .
