According to the public relations report of Amirkabir University of Technology, Dr. Somayeh Akbari, during the ceremony honoring and introducing the Director of Scientific and International Cooperation, while stating this and referring to utilizing the capacity and experiences of managers and experienced professors in the international field, announced plans to form an "International Think Tank" at this university.
She stated that in recent times, the experiences and perspectives of the university's former international officials have been utilized, adding: "Although the presence of the former Vice President for International Affairs was less during this period, they did everything within their power, and we will certainly benefit from their connections, experiences, and programs in the future. Not using these capacities would be an injustice to the Polytechnic."
The Vice President for International Affairs at Amirkabir University of Technology added: "Our plan is to form a coherent think tank with the participation of professors and activists in the international field."
Akbari continued: "This think tank will operate through specialized working groups as well as country-specific and regional working groups so that we can purposefully advance the university's international programs through brainstorming and synergy."
Referring to the role of other members of the international team at Amirkabir University of Technology, she said: "Dr. Taghikhani, a member of this team, has entered the work with seriousness from the beginning and, with their valuable experience, follows up on matters well. We also benefit from the presence of Dr. Rahimi and their valuable experiences in international affairs, especially in financial and administrative sections, and this cooperation will continue in the future."
The Vice President for International Affairs at Amirkabir University of Technology emphasized: "The goal for all of us is work and advancing the university's affairs, and we hope that with the empathy and cooperation of the team members, we can take effective actions in the international field of the university."
The former Director of the Office of Scientific and International Cooperation at Amirkabir University of Technology, in this ceremony, emphasizing the necessity of "internationalization" of universities, stated: "Real internationalization requires fundamental changes in policies and transformation in the university's macro approaches, and without these changes, expecting effective output is not possible."
Bagherzadeh, while stating this in remarks and referring to the difference in conditions in recent years compared to past decades, expressed: "In a period when the country's international environment was more open, foreign interactions became more feasible, suitable opportunities for developing scientific cooperation were created, but in subsequent years, conditions became much more difficult, and any planning for international actions faced numerous obstacles."
Referring to managerial changes and the unstable decision-making environment in some periods, he stated: "The unfortunate events in recent years and changes in governments, ministers, and university managers made long-term planning difficult, and this very issue affected the process of the university's international activities. Although efforts were made to create a transformation in the level of the university's international activities with all the conditions, and with the efforts of colleagues, suitable activi
