Islamic Iran's major scientific movement continues at a fast pace to this day. The Iranian nation, upon relying on hope and hard work, managed to take further steps in this realm, last year. These accomplishments are certainly a reassuring, sustainable, and promising backbone for continuing to move forward in the fresh phase of the existence of the Islamic Revolution.
Today, we will review some of the scientific achievements, and advancements of Iran in the Iranian solar calendar year 1397.
Iran is turning into a scientific source of reference. Currently, Iran is among the thirteen countries across the world, which maintains a nuclear fuel cycle and is capable of production of stem cells, which is one of the future pillars of biotechnology. Iran is ranked 15th worldwide in relation to the production of stem cells.
Furthermore, Iran has advanced from three-figure ranking in innovation indices to the 65th global ranking in this realm.
Moreover, Iran holds the first regional spot, and the 11th global spot in physics, while ranked 4thworldwide in computer sciences, 3rd global ranking in astronomy, and holding the third spot worldwide in chemistry.
Additionally, Iran is currently a member of the global space club, being capable of production of satellites, and satellite carriers and launching them into orbit, as well as sending living creatures into space.
One of the other sources of honor of Islamic Iran, is the enlistment of Iranian universities among superior universities, worldwide.
The Iranian Minister of Science, Research, and Technology, Mansour Gholami, notes that Iran is ranked 16th worldwide in the domain of scientific production.
In the Iranian solar calendar year 1397, over 150 joint scientific projects have been carried out by Iran, in cooperation with European, Asian, and African universities.
In relation to medical sciences, as of the year 2009, activities have been targeted in the domain of cell treatment for refractory cerebral and nervous system ailments, including MS, Parkinson disease, and Alzheimer's disease. The world aims to head towards treatment of ailments with stem cells. In the meantime, Iran is currently capable of scientific cooperation with the best researchers in the world within the framework of scientific organizations and global projects.
Royaan Research Center, in line with global studies, and in cooperation with neurologists, designs projects in relation to the most common neurological ailments, in order to prove the effectiveness of stem cells in restoration of nerve fiber wastes, and ultimately for the bolster of the quality of life of patients in an effort to effectively contribute to the treatment of these patients. Royaan Research Center, as a globally known scientific center, has made resounding accomplishments in production of science, technologies assisting fertility, embryonic stem cells, and eye repair.
Currently, around one hundred research centers in regards to production of stem cells, production of ligaments, treatment of cancer, and treatment of bone abnormalities are operating in Iran.
According to a senior scientific figure, Dr. Dehqani, the process of production of science in Iran has maintained a very fast pace. The number of registered documents has remarkably ascended from 500 scientific documents in the very beginning of the victory of Iran's Islamic Revolution to more than 47,000 scientific documents, last year.
The fastest rate of scientific growth across the world belongs to Iran; which stands at eleven-folds higher than the global average rate.
Achievement of the 1st regional ranking and 16th global ranking by Iran in 2018 is mainly the outcome of steady scientific growth in the recent two decades. This comes while in the year 1996, Iran held the 5th regional spot and the 52nd global spot in the realm of scientific growth.
Iran has also attained the first scientific ranking among Islamic countries, in relation to the number of published articles.
Based on UN report, Iran ranks 9th worldwide in relation to the number of published book titles per annum. This ranking is different in scientific courses. For instances, Iran holds the 2nd spot in the number of theology book titles, 3rd in the number of linguistics book titles, 12th in the number of general book titles, 13th in the number of psychology and philosophy book titles, and 16th in relation to the number of applied science book titles, across the globe.
Based on the latest results of accredited academic rankings, published a while ago, twenty-three Iranian universities were enlisted among a thousand superior universities across the world.
In accordance to UN Development and Trade Conference report, Iran has made significant efforts for reinforcement of tis educational system, especially in the fields of basic, technical, and engineering sciences and the related domains, in recent decades.
Production of science, and number of registered documents in this period of time, has grown by 90-folds, while participation of Iran in the production of science, in the global level, in this phase in time, has also increased by 20-folds.
In the pre-revolution era, none of Iranian universities maintained global ranking. However, based on Times Newspaper ranking in 2018, a total of 18 Iranian universities were enlisted among superior global universities.
In the meantime, 98% of the production of science at Tehran University and 99% of the production of science at Sharif University has also been achieved in the post-revolution era.
Meanwhile, the secretary of Iran's High Council for Cultural Revolution, has underlined that currently 200 Iranian scientists are among the superior scientists across the world.
Furthermore, 39 science and technology theme parks are currently operating nationwide, covering 178 development centers, that in turn administer 3700 science-based companies across the country.
The Leader of Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, has termed the national scientific movement in the recent twenty years as good, while adding that 'the pace of this scientific movement should not reduce, and this pace should in fact be maintained and reinforced for the next twenty to thirty years in order for us to reach its peak.'
