Through the research of these valued individuals, the country's dependence on foreign entities is minimized.
He added: One of the most significant gaps in research is the lack of informational skills and cognitive abilities. These two issues lead to both resource waste and stagnation.

He regarded the presence of young and elite professors and motivated and active students as one of the university's most important characteristics as it develops, adding: In recent years, the grounds for enhancing research at Qom University of Technology have been established. The growth of ISI and Scopus article statistics, the increase in patents registered by professors and students, the launching of the first collaborative space in the province, etc., are all results of the focus on research at the university.
