Tehran, YJC. Deputy Minister of Science has said that 15,000 experts currently living abroad are identified and provided with special privileges to be easily employed at academic centers inside the country.
The Deputy Minister of Science Arsalan Qorbani said in
an interview with Mehr News Agency that the ministry has identified 15,000 Iranian experts from other countries for cooperation.
He added "The major part of cooperation with these
experts will be in the form of short-term study projects and bilateral
conferences with foreign countries, so there wont be much need for the experts
to come to Iran.”

facilitate the experts’ employment and said "In case these experts would apply
for teaching positions at universities throughout the country, an arrangement

procedure and facilitate their employment.”

the experts will be used for research projects or in teaching positions.
