With the participation of Jordanian, Algerian, and German universities, a delegation from Yarmouk University, through the Leadership and Innovation Center, participated in a workshop entitled "Water Scarcity and Possible Technological Solutions" that was hosted by the German Chemnitz University of Technology supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in terms of the SAXEED Eco project.

The director of the Center, Dr. “Muhammad Ashraf” Otoom, during his lecture at the workshop, said that the SAXEED Eco project focuses this year on the problem of water scarcity in Jordan and Algeria and possible solutions through the use of modern technology. He indicated that artificial intelligence and data science help in managing water resources, detecting water leakage, and increasing the efficiency of the networks, which contributes to reducing the percentage of the misses in the networks and the optimal utilization of available water resources. Dr. Ahmed Al-Quraan and Dr. Ashraf Al-Radaida from Al-Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology also presented, during their lectures in the workshop, ways to exploit solar photovoltaic energy to provide clean energy for use in water pumps in wells and homes. Different methods were also presented to rationalize the water consumption and the energy sources for water.

Moreover, Dr. “Mohammed Ashraf” Otoom and Dr. Imad Al-Sukhni from the Faculty of Information Technology and Computer Science participated in the twelfth international conference in the field of information technology ISCSET 2023, which was held in the German city of Labach, organized by the German Chemnitz University of Technology, where Otoom presented a paper explaining the development of a new algorithm for detecting and identifying brain cancer using artificial intelligence, and Al-Sukhni presented a paper on detecting hate speech in social media using deep learning.
