According to the university's public relations: Concurrent with Research Week, the top researchers of Qom University of Technology were honored in the presence of the university’s board of directors and Engineer Sijani, the head of the provincial Industry, Mine, and Trade Organization. Additionally, Dr. Marjani, the educational and research deputy of Qom University of Technology, announced an improvement in the research ranking of this university.
Dr. Rezaei Nour, while expressing condolences for the passing of Hazrat Masoumeh (SA), stated: Celebrating Research Week is a symbolic act, but given the current situation in the country, research is important, necessary, and vital. In this context, the Supreme Leader (may his presence be exalted) states: Knowledge and research are the main keys to progress.
The president of Qom University of Technology emphasized: If research and investigation are based on pathology and the needs of the country, and if experienced and qualified faculty are present, undoubtedly, scientific growth in the country will be certain, and foreign brands will be replaced by domestic ones.
He added: I am very grateful to all those who participated in promoting research at Qom University of Technology, especially the esteemed professors and dear students. I would also like to acknowledge the distinguished student of Qom University of Technology, Sina Boroujerdi, who earned the title of top invention in the international competitions in Geneva last year. Furthermore, I extend my appreciation to the Arsimya submarine team of Qom University of Technology, which brought great honor to the university by securing the second position.
Dr. Rezaei Nour referred to the 19th Exhibition of Scientific Achievements, Research, and Technological Market in the province, saying: Although Qom University of Technology is a developing university, it has dedicated itself to several technological products and inventions that are now on display in the technological market exhibition.
He regarded Qom University of Technology as highly dynamic and active and added: My expectation from professors and students is to have more endeavors in producing knowledge-based products. Given the implementation of the Industry Helper Plan, which is undoubtedly one of the university's honors, professors must also provide greater support to students.
He stated: Currently, the Industry Helper group consists of 4 active teams and 12 ready-to-operate teams engaged in activities. Of course, if the professors collaborate more closely with the students, the trust industrialists place in students will increase.
Dr. Rezaei Nour considered the organization of start-ups as one of the factors for the advancement of professors in developed countries and added: Unfortunately, regarding the commercialization of innovative products, we have performed weakly. I hope that with the increasing activities at the Innovation Center of the university, we will witness the production of professors' products both in the country and globally.
He also mentioned: It is important to commend the scientific associations for their activities, and the scientific branch of the student mobilization has also performed excellently during this period, which deserves appreciation and thanks.
Furthermore, Hojjat al-Islam and Muslims Dr. Ghobani, the head of the representation office of the Supreme Leader, expressed his condolences for the passing of Hazrat Masoumeh (SA) and addressed the significance of research, adding: If there is no knowledge transfer in our studies, it will not deepen.
He continued: We must play a role in the scientific history of the country and the world and register the name of Muslims in this field.
Engineer Sijani, the head of the provincial Industry, Mine, and Trade Organization, considered the establishment of the technical university in the province to be highly effective and added: With the provincial status of Qom, officials have tried to focus not only on the growth and development of religious and Quranic sciences but also on the growth of the province's industry. Fortunately, we have made significant strides in this area, and today, we hold the 14th rank in the country in terms of industrial production.
The head of the provincial Industry, Mine, and Trade Organization stated: Qom University of Technology, with the presence of reputable professors and active students, can be very effective in the advancement of the province's industry as a dynamic and youthful institution.
At the end, Dr. Marjani, the educational and research deputy of the university, provided a report on the advancement of research at the university. He also reported on Dr. Rezaei Nour's support for the execution of research projects and added: The executive guidelines for using research funding (grant) for the years 96 and 97 have been approved with significant growth, which will greatly influence the creation of healthy competition in research among professors.
He added: The guidelines for encouraging authors of articles in publications have been ratified, which also includes student papers. Some of the advancements in research at Qom University of Technology include creating study opportunities for faculty members, infrastructural development of the library, equipping laboratories, formulating comprehensive laboratory plans, centralizing laboratories, and launching a Center for Advanced Computing.
The educational and research deputy of the university stated: Improving the quality of research outputs, publishing scientific and research journals at Qom University of Technology, establishing research laboratories for educational groups, planning to support start-ups, and assisting in the commercialization of professors’ and students’ products are among the future research programs in this university.
