after launching its trial platform on 21 July, 2019. The features of the project appeared, which took nearly three years to complete after it was prepared (analysis, design and programming) by Iraqi efforts and capabilities with support of the General Secretariat of Al-Abbas holy shrine and direct supervision from the digital information centre of Al-Abbas holy shrine library in cooperation with Iraqi universities. Updates are still ongoing to develop its services.

The project aims at a number of objectives, including
An attempt to limit the Iraqi academic works represented by theses and university dissertations in one website that represents the scientific Infront of Iraq.
Creating subsidiary repositories for Iraqi universities linked to the main repository to ensure search and recall from one website instead of searching in multiple websites.
Restore (as much as possible) what was lost from dissertations and theses as a result of the difficult circumstances that Iraq has gone through.
Conserving and documenting the intellectual assets of graduate students at the university with long-term preservation media, which achieves protection of assets from damage.
