The distinctive program of the CISSC is designed to attract
overseas outstanding scientists and experts in various fields of S&T to
speak at an academic event in Iran. The purpose of the so-called Simorgh
program, which started in 2010, is to provide opportunities for the faculty
members and students at Iranian universities to enhance their research and
training by establishing ties with foreign scholars. What distinguishes this
program from the other sponsored programs of the CISSC is the requirement of
organizing academic events for the invited guest speakers in one or more
universities outside Tehran, preferably in the less developed cities across the
country.
Gundishapur
The CISSC in partnership with the “Cooperation and Cultural
Activities” (SCAC) section of the French Embassy in Iran is coordinating and
managing Gundishapur program, which is designed to promote collaborations among
Iranian and French researchers and faculty members in a variety of fields
including humanities and social sciences, life science, agriculture and
environment. The program places emphasis on projects which:
- Are accompanied by training at doctoral or
post-doctoral levels;
- Provide the opportunity of collaborations
between several Iranian and French laboratories or research centers;
- Foster technological innovation and
competiveness in order to solve development problems, particularly in economic
and social domains
ICARD
In this program, the goal is to cultivate collaborations among
Iranian nationals working overseas and those residing in the country. The CISSC
promotes joint scientific research in a number of fields by inviting
distinguished Iranian scholars and innovators working in other countries to
travel to Iran for a short time period lasting several days or weeks. In
addition, the program will provide opportunities for sabbatical leaves for
faculty members who want to immerse themselves in a foreign community and gain
experience in international in research collaborations.
Pietro Delavale
The Government of Islamic Republic of Iran and Italian Government
have agreed to financially support the projects. The project Pietro DeLLA Valle
includes shared research projects of Iranian and Italian teams in the areas of
human and social studies, museum, arts and cultural heritage, natural sciences,
life and medical sciences, engineering and information technology, that have
been approved by Italian scientific committees and as well as the Iranian
Center of International Studies and Scientific Cooperation, by taking the
research priorities into account.
ICED
Through this program, national universities and science-research
centers can invite distinguished overseas Iranian scholars and researchers, to
teach at these institutes in Iran. Iranian professors in the country can also
make an application under this program to teach at one of the universities or
science-research centers abroad.
ICRP
The CISSC has tried to help the MSRT to improve the quality of its
research programs by facilitating international scientific collaboration
between researchers in universities and research centers across the country and
foreign research in various academic disciplines ranging from basic science to
social science and art. Under this program, the prominent international
researchers are invited to travel to Iran for a specific period of time in
order to engage in collaborative research projects with Iranian scholars
