Workshop, panel discussion & documentary screening

The Made in Iraq project workshop brought together all team members to discuss the main research themes and scientific articles currently in preparation, to further develop the research agenda, and to plan the next steps regarding research activities, conferences, and publications.

On October 7, 2025, the team organized a panel discussion accompanied by a screening of Ruptured City.

The panel aimed to share insights from the ongoing research.
