The University Digital Media and Archive Office (UDMO) is a vital subdivision of the Directorate of Media and Public Relations (DOPR) at the University of Duhok (UOD). At the intersection of creativity, communication, and strategic preservation, UDMO powers the University's digital presence and protects its long-term digital memory.

Our Mission

To deliver, curate, and preserve high-quality digital content that showcases the vibrancy of UOD’s academic, cultural, and community life while building a sustainable and secure digital footprint for generations to come

UDMO blends innovation with institutional responsibility across a wide range of focus areas:

• Digital Media Design & Data Visualization

• Social Media Culture and Audience Engagement

• Digital Storytelling and Content Creation

• Web & Multimedia Archiving

• Public and Internal Digital Communication

• Digital Asset Management and Repository Access

From livestreaming major academic events to curating online exhibitions, and from preserving visual archives to crafting compelling narratives — we ensure UOD’s digital image reflects its values, energy, and excellence

• Have you ever thought about how much data is created at UOD in a single day?

• How many videos, photos, stories, and academic insights are shared online?

• How much of these lives on — and how much is at risk of disappearing?

Digital Media is not just communication — it's evidence of achievement, culture, and identity. Our mission is to make sure no story is lost, and no success goes unrecorded.

Preserving UOD’s Journey

Since 1995, the DOPR has collected thousands of hours of multimedia content. UDMO is now actively digitizing these archives to:

• Create a University Digital Repository accessible for staff, students, and the public

• Present a historical timeline of UOD’s transformation and growth

• Celebrate a community of over 30,000 scholars, professionals, and students

Our archives include photographs, videos, event recordings, interviews, publications, and digital artifacts.

UDMO aligns with UOD’s Strategic Plan 2023–2038 by:

• Empowering the University’s digital transformation and visibility

• Enabling transparency and institutional memory

• Supporting public access and academic engagement

• Protecting digital rights, authenticity, and compliance

We ensure that the University’s official website, social media, and shared platforms are not only vibrant and engaging — but also secure, documented, and future-proofed.
