He referred to the beginning of activities at Qom University of Technology in 2008 and added: The building of Qom University of Technology is not suitable for a university complex; therefore, we hope that with continuous support from the government, we can establish a site over the next six years that meets academic standards on the new land of this university.

He referenced the activity of 53 faculty members at Qom University of Technology and stated: 30 percent of the university's output has been accepted in master's programs, and establishing two disciplines at the doctoral level, as well as new interdisciplinary fields at the master's level, is on the agenda of this university.
Dr. Khushnavisan noted that last year this university achieved the top rank in research, adding: This university has been designated as a promoter of green industry and environmentally friendly technology, and for this reason, it has so far signed memorandums of understanding with relevant organizations, particularly the Department of Environment.
