Under the supervision by prof. Dr. Alaa Nafea Jasim , the center organizes workshop entitled ( the famous Arabs and their effect in Arabic Renaissance era , the lecture is presented by prof. Dr. nadia Gathban Mohammad (one of the lecturers in Iraqi scientific collective ) The researcher discussed the Renaissance from a linguistic, historical and philosophical perspective since its inception in Europe and the extension of its impact to Arab countries due to the European occupation. She then talked about the most important representations of this Renaissance in Iraq, its fields and the influential names that contributed to shaping the map of cultural, political, social and artistic awareness. She also showed that the Renaissance is a continuous state between the past and the present because it is linked to the way of thinking. This does not mean that critical thinking should not be practiced on it, but rather it is a necessity to review to measure its impact, especially in what was produced by newspapers and magazines that dealt with the daily life of Iraqi society and its situation with the establishment of the concept of the modern state. The researcher touched on the importance of institutions in supporting the intellectual renaissance in Iraq. Among the most prominent of these institutions is the Scientific Institute founded by Thabet Abdel Nour in the 1920s and the Iraqi Scientific Academy, which included great names, some of whom are involved between the Center for the Revival of Arab Scientific Heritage and the Academy, such as Dr. Taha Baqir, who founded an Iraqi archaeological school with its own features, and Professor Dr. Saleh Ahmed Al-Ali, who established a method for reading Arab history. She touched on the legal renaissance at the hands of the head of the Iraqi Scientific Academy, Professor Munir Al-Qadi, and his impact on the formulation of civil law in Iraq. As for the field of artistic renewal, we find Jawad Salim, who was able to draw inspiration from what is historical and local to bring it to the global scene.
