The recent International Conference on Engineering Collaboration and Innovation marked a new milestone in strengthening partnerships between Russia and Iraq. Hosted with the support of leading universities and research institutions, the event brought together experts from academia, construction, and civil engineering sectors to exchange knowledge and promote sustainable development.
The conference focused on practical cooperation in geotechnical engineering, soil–structure interaction (SSI), foundation design, and digital transformation in construction. Researchers and industry leaders discussed how advanced modeling tools and international collaboration can accelerate safer and more efficient engineering practices in both countries.
One of the conference’s key highlights was the collaboration between:
Together, these institutions emphasized joint research, capacity building, and training programs aimed at enhancing technical expertise in modern infrastructure development.
“Engineering is the language of progress — collaboration is how we make it universal,” said conference speakers, highlighting the shared mission of advancing innovation across borders.
Presentations covered modern technologies in:
These topics align closely with Frigate LLC’s mission — combining research, technology, and engineering excellence to deliver high-quality, sustainable infrastructure solutions.
As part of the conference program, members of the SPbPU delegation visited the construction site of the Central Bank of Iraq building, designed by the late Iraqi-British architect and innovator Zaha Hadid. The delegation received a detailed briefing on the project’s progress and praised their colleagues’ dedication to completing this landmark structure — a true symbol of innovation, engineering excellence, and cross-cultural collaboration.
The Russia–Iraq engineering partnership signifies not only technical cooperation but also cultural and academic exchange. With continued collaboration, both nations aim to expand their contributions to global civil engineering knowledge, promoting safer, smarter, and more sustainable construction worldwide.
