Strengthening Research Collaboration A delegation from Vision Agency for International Development (VisionAID) visited Vision Foundation for Strategic Studies in Sulaymaniyah to explore opportunities for collaboration in research and strategic studies. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity for both institutions to exchange perspectives and discuss areas of mutual interest, with a focus on strengthening scientific cooperation and developing joint initiatives that contribute to knowledge production and policy-oriented research. Among the key proposals discussed was the establishment of a joint scientific journal that would serve as a platform for publishing collaborative research and promoting academic dialogue. The discussion also included the possibility of expanding joint activities to Erbil and Duhok, aiming to broaden the impact of research and strategic studies across the Kurdistan Region. Both sides emphasized the importance of formalizing their collaboration through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to support future research projects and institutional partnerships.
