National Committee to Establish Nano-Technology in Iran
At the initiative of the Research Department of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology (MSRT), a National Committee to Study the Development of Nano-Technology in Iran was officially launched in February. The Committee is headed by Professor Hashem Rafii-Tabar, an IPM research physicist and the vice-head of its School of Physics, and includes academicians from various universities. The Committee began its work in February and has produced its report which will be published by MSRT shortly. To establish the emerging fields of nano-science and nano-technology , known as the third scientific-industrial revolution, in Iran a list of research projects, based on the available resources within the country, is being compiled and research scientists will be invited to share in the implementation of these projects. The Ministry is giving a top priority to the development of this field, along side of Bio-technology and Information Technology.
