The session headed by Prof. Majid M. Shukr and Prof. Saja M. Jabbar, (the rapporteur) included two lectures; the first lecture was titled The Importance of Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Research delivered by assist. Prof. Dr. Hussein Mohammed at Mechanical Engineering Department

While the second lecture entitled the role of experimental design in math model evaluation delivered by assist. Prof. Dr. Marwan N. Ali at Biomedical Engineering Department

After that, extensive discussions started by audience.

At the end of the symposium, certificates of appreciation were handed out by the center director to the lecturers as an assessment to their efforts
