They are Conference Proceedings, two Engineering journals (JMERD and DE (Toronto)), four journals within the disciplines of applied and Pure Science (IJIES, TURCOMAT, BCA, and SJE), and two journals for Agricultural Science (RP and AJWEP). Most of the researchers received acceptance from journals before the date of the conference, and this was the main goal of the conference committees. The conference is supported by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research-Iraq, the University of Technology-Iraq, the University of Nizwa staff – Oman, the University of Northampton staff – UK, the Environment Research Center-Iraq, Iraqi Society for EngineeringManagement and Al Maarif University College-Iraq. The conference committees attempted to open up prospects for cooperation with all universities in the conference activities by selecting session chairs and keynote speakers from them. The conference opening ceremony was distinctive by inviting keynote speakers from Oman and the UK. To open up prospects for cooperation with universities and to achieve the best results globally, the conference committees invited all Universities (governmental and private), Scientific Institutions, and Researchers to participate in the activities of the Fourth Al-Noor International Conference for Science and Technology (4NICST2022), which will be held in Istanbul / Turkey in August17-18, 2021.
