iNNOV8 Participates in the US Foreign Policy Working Group's Annual Conference at University College London

In September 2025, iNNOV8 took part in the US Foreign Policy Working Group's Annual Conference, convened by the British International Studies Association (BISA) at University College London. The conference brought together scholars and practitioners dedicated to advancing research and teaching on US foreign policy in the UK.

iNNOV8’s Director Imad A. Farhadi (BISA member) and Research Specialist Noor Omer presented two forthcoming papers:

• Pipelines and Power: US Foreign Policy and Iraqi Kurdistan’s Gas Venture
• US Foreign Policy: Multipolarity and Tech-Security Rivalries in the Middle East

Held at UCL, one of the world’s leading universities, ranked in the global top ten for research power, the conference facilitated rigorous academic, research-driven dialogue on the evolving role of US foreign policy in a post-unipolar world, focusing on issues such as regional energy politics, great power rivalry, and technological competition.

This participation highlights iNNOV8’s commitment to contributing nuanced, cutting-edge analysis to key debates shaping international relations and security in the Middle East.
