On May 14, 2025, the American University of Iraq, Sulaimani (AUIS) welcomed a visiting delegation focused on academic diplomacy and international education cooperation. The visit was part of a broader initiative to strengthen ties between higher education institutions in the Kurdistan Region and universities abroad.

The delegation represented a European-based education organization and a leading international university with campuses across multiple global cities. The visit aimed to explore opportunities for partnership, with a particular focus on creating pathways for students in the Kurdistan Region to pursue higher education in Europe.

During the visit, AUIS leadership and faculty met with the delegation to discuss potential areas of collaboration, including student mobility, joint programs, and academic exchange. As part of the agenda, the delegation also delivered an information session to AUIS students, highlighting educational opportunities and English-language programs available at their institution.

This visit aligns with AUIS’s ongoing efforts to internationalize its academic offerings and expand access to global education for its students. The university looks forward to continuing these conversations and building new bridges for academic cooperation.
