The Sulaimani Forum is a signature annual event hosted by the Institute of Regional and International Studies (IRIS) at American University of Iraq, Sulaimani (AUIS). Over the course of two days, scholars, experts, and policymakers from around the world convene for this high-level conference focused on the Middle East and North Africa to discuss the world’s most pressing regional issues, current trends and points of conflict. It creates an annual opportunity to bring together the main stakeholders in regional affairs for intellectual, political and strategic debates of great relevance in today’s world.
