In the name of God the Merciful/University of Baghdad (The Almighty University) The Center for Market Research and Consumer Protection at Baghdad University is the only official institution in Iraq dealing with market and consumer issues to find solutions to the problems it suffers. Since taking responsibility for the tasks of managing the Center, we have realized that education and scientific research are the fundamental pillar of building society and developing its capabilities.
Our mission is based on the principle that the integration of industry, agriculture, trade and services sectors, conducting research on the state of markets and determining the wishes of consumers, as well as working to guide the industrial business sector to meet the wishes of consumers, is in the public interest of our country and leads to increased economic growth.
The Market Research and Consumer Protection Centre has two sections: the Goods Evaluation and Service Performance Section, the Research and Studies Department and a number of divisions and supporting administrative units The Centre also has four research laboratories: the Chemical Analysis Laboratory, the Atomic Absorption Laboratory, the Microscopic Biology Laboratory and the Advanced Machine Analysis Laboratory, which provide support to the Centre’s professors in the completion of their research for the annual plan.
The Professor of the Center for Market Research and Consumer Protection participates in the membership of various committees with the ministries of the State to discuss the various subjects that require study and a competent ray. The diversity of the Centre’s competencies between agriculture, veterinary, engineering, economic and purely scientific qualifies him to participate in such committees. The Center has a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Industry and Min/Industrial Research and Development.
In the end, I cannot but extend my thanks and gratitude to the members of the Centre for the dedication that I have given them. Since receiving the Centre’s duties, I wish everyone success in the service of our dear country.
