The stage where graduating students present their capstone research to the academic community — and take their first step from student to scientist.
The Annual Senior Science Conference (ASSC) is an academic event hosted by the University of Zakho and organised by the College of Science. It gives final-year undergraduate students a platform to move from learners to active contributors in science.
The conference is designed for 4th-year bachelor's students and 3rd- to 6th-year students of the College of Medicine to present their graduation projects as posters or oral presentations. For many, it is the first chance to share original data with a professional audience — especially valuable for students who may not get to publish their projects in a journal.
Show your capstone project to the college, your peers and the wider academic community.
Practise scientific writing, poster design and public speaking in a real conference setting.
Meet students, supervisors and researchers from every department of the college.
Mark your transition into research and prepare for postgraduate study or a scientific career.
The day is packed with student oral presentations, dynamic poster sessions, networking opportunities and keynote talks from distinguished leaders in science.
This is a preliminary overview. A detailed programme with presenter times and rooms will be released in early April 2027, after abstract selection is finalised.
All deadlines close at 11:59 PM (Kurdistan time) on the date shown.
