The Russian side expressed its readiness to enhance cooperation with Arab universities, foremost of which is Al-Zarqa University, which opens the way for developing academic and research partnerships, and exchanging scientific and technical experiences and experiments, and the two sides agreed to hold a subsequent meeting in the capital Amman to follow up on areas of cooperation and explore joint work opportunities.

Al-Habashneh, on behalf of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Al-Zarqa for Education and Investment Company, Dr. Mahmoud Abdul Razzaq Abu Shu'ayra, and the President of Al-Zarqa University, Dr. Nidal Al-Rumaihi, emphasized the depth of Jordanian-Russian relations and their continuous development, pointing to the importance of building on these relations and enhancing cooperation paths in various fields.

Al-Zarqa University participated in the activities of the Scientific Day for Quality and Patient Safety "Day of Change 13", organized by the Ministry of Health, with the aim of entrenching the concepts of quality in health care, enhancing patient safety, and transforming ideas and commitments into tangible practices and applications.

The university's participation was through a number of faculty members and students from the Faculty of Nursing, who presented educational models and creative projects that reflect the application of academic knowledge and modern technologies in developing health practices and improving the level of services provided to patients.

Al-Ajloun National University participated in the activities of the International Conference on Smart Information Systems and Computing, held in the UAE, from September 14 to 16, 2026, with the participation of researchers and academics from more than 31 countries, in cooperation with the IEEE global organization.

The university was represented in the conference by the Dean of the Faculty of Sciences, Dr. Ghazi Al-Shaqah, who presented a scientific research paper entitled: "A Secure Rubric-Grounded LLM Code Review Assistant for Software Engineering Education".

The paper addresses the development of a secure assistant for reviewing programming codes using large language models, based on custom evaluation criteria for software engineering education.

The Professor of Economic History and Islamic Civilizational Thought at the university, Dr. Ghida Katibi, participated in the activities of the specialized international conference entitled: "Anatolia and the Islamic World during the Mongol Era", organized by the Seljuk Studies Institute at Seljuk University in Konya, Turkey, with the presence of an intellectual and scientific elite that included 63 researchers from 11 countries from around the world.

Katibi presented a research paper entitled: "Features of Civilizational Interactions in the Islamic World after the Battle of Ain Jalut", in which she documented civilizational interactions in their economic, social, and cultural dimensions, which the Islamic world witnessed during the period of the Tatar invasion and thereafter.

The researcher confirmed in her paper that the reality of these aspects represents an accurate reflection of the nature of the interactions that were prevalent in those areas, and documented the extent of the influence and intermingling in the human relations existing between individuals of the civilized society on the one hand, and the prevailing political systems on the other hand.

The research paper concluded that the civilizational interaction between the Tatars and the Islamic civilization was divided in its impact into two main stages, the first represented by the era of the Tatar invasion and its characteristics, while the second stage was embodied in the stability of the Tatar elements within the fabric of the Islamic society and civilization, and the establishment of Mongol sultanates and kingdoms that witnessed diverse development in economic, social, and cultural fields.

The study pointed out that the Battle of "Ain Jalut" constituted a pivotal station and a prominent intellectual awareness phase in the movement of historical writing in Islamic civilization, where historical sources allocated wide spaces to record and analyze economic terms and indications that included taxes, trade, agriculture, and money, alongside social dimensions that dealt with population migration, lineage, culture, and psychological and educational aspects.
