• On 21/10/2019, assist. Prof. Laith Kais Abbas, university of technology- materials engineering department, participated in a workshop entitled (Photo catalysis and its application). The workshop was organized by the nanotechnology and advanced materials center at the conferences hall. The workshop discussed the role of photo catalysis in solving the problems of environment and energy sectors. The photo catalysis can be used to remove the dangerous materials i.e. organic and toxic materials as well as the heavily metals ions. It can also be used in some production processes such as hydrogen gas production from photo water decomposition.
• A thank letter was awarded to Prof .Dr. Aseel Basim Abdul-Hassan (materials engineering department) by the President of the University of Technology, Prof. Dr. Imad Hussain Merza Al Hussaini, for her special effort in publishing journal paper  according to the world ranking Clarivate Analytics.
