The National Week of Research and Technology is a week that provides a suitable opportunity to focus on various aspects of research and technology in the country. It allows all stakeholders to be informed about existing trends and conditions, enabling them to plan for a better and more significant future. The selection and introduction of outstanding individuals in the field of research and technology and honoring them, as well as creating opportunities for interaction among stakeholders through various means such as exhibitions, technology markets, conferences, seminars, and media interviews, create an environment in the country that enhances the dignity and status of research and technology. It lays a solid foundation for continuing efforts to strengthen and develop research and technology, which are essential for the genuine progress of the country and the creation of wealth, welfare, and security for its people in social and cultural dimensions. Since 2000, to promote the culture of research, the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology has designated the fourth week of Azar as Research Week, considering the designation of December 25th as Research Day by the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution, and has entrusted the organization of this week to its Research Deputy.
