Initial planning is underway to make the Research Week at Qom University of Technology as fruitful as possible.

National Research and Technology Week provides an excellent opportunity to focus on various aspects of research and technology in the country. It allows all stakeholders to become informed about the current trends and status in the nation, enabling them to plan more effectively and significantly for the future. The selection and recognition of the top achievers in the field of research and technology, along with celebrating their accomplishments, as well as creating opportunities for interaction among stakeholders through various methods such as exhibitions, technology fairs, conferences, seminars, press interviews, and radio and television programs, generates an environment that not only enhances the position of research and technology but also lays the groundwork for strengthening and developing research and technology, which are essential for the true progress of the country and creating wealth, welfare, and security for its people in social and cultural dimensions. To promote a culture of research, the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology has designated the fourth week of Azar each year, starting from 2000, considering the naming of December 25 as Research Day as Research Week.

Goals of Research and Technology Week:

-         Promoting the culture of research and technology at the national level and enhancing the dignity and status of the active participants in this field

-         Encouraging and motivating researchers and technologists in the country to produce more science and technology, as well as the honor and wealth derived from it

-         Clarifying the current status of research and technology, its future in the country for public opinion and authorities, and obtaining feedback for coordination and progress

-         Identifying and presenting research and technology findings

-         Providing the groundwork for the commercialization of research findings and developed technologies

-         Establishing constructive communication between researchers, technologists, executive organizations, and buyers of achievements, or strengthening the relationship between academia and industry

-         Encouraging and honoring outstanding researchers and technologists

-         Evaluating the research and technology activities of universities and other research centers over the past year

-         Increasing awareness and attention of managers to research and technology activities

In this regard, Dr. Heydari, the director of research and technology affairs, explained the program for Research Week at Qom University of Technology, stating: Research Week is an excellent opportunity to introduce the scientific research achievements across various fields to the academic and research community.
