The objectives of this session were to facilitate communications with Iranians abroad and to plan for attracting postdoctoral researchers. The organization of scientific lectures and the recruitment of faculty members from among Iranians residing abroad were also discussed and reviewed. Preparations have been made for international students to visit the IHIT complex and learn about the capabilities of Iranian knowledge-based companies. These efforts aim to enhance scientific and research collaborations and to introduce the country's scientific capabilities to an international audience.
