The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa has been actively engaging in international collaborations that contribute to the gathering, measurement, and analysis of data relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through partnerships with global institutions and participation in international initiatives, the university has helped advance evidence-based decision-making in areas critical to sustainability and societal development.

During 2023–2024, the university co-hosted the First Global Conference on Crowd Engineering and Management in Karbala, bringing together international experts to discuss sustainable crowd management strategies. The insights and data shared at the conference support SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, enabling better planning and modelling for urban resilience and safety.

The university also collaborates with international research partners on studies that directly contribute to SDG-related data collection. For example:

• Water Sustainability Research: In partnership with Wageningen University (Netherlands), Najran University (Saudi Arabia), and Anbar University (Iraq), the university conducted research on using treated wastewater for artificial groundwater recharge. This project collects and analyses water quality, recharge rates, and local hydrological data, providing empirical evidence for SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation.

• Solar Energy and Renewable Technologies: Joint research with international partners focuses on solar energy adoption and efficiency measurement, generating data that informs SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy initiatives.

Additionally, the university participates in the UI Green Metric initiative and the UN Academic Impact Network, both of which involve systematic data collection and benchmarking on sustainability practices. These efforts help track performance, compare with global best practices, and provide reliable evidence to guide institutional and policy decisions, reflecting principles of SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

Through these initiatives, the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa demonstrates that its role extends beyond research and education: it acts as a partner in international knowledge networks, contributing meaningful data, analysis, and collaborative insight to advance the global SDG agenda.
