According to an ISCA report, Dr. Ebrahim Vasheghani Farahani stated that “fortunately, in line with IAU’s strategies, we have signed many MoUs with ministries, research centers, and universities to increase academic and executive quality.”
He also announced that a cooperative Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas was in the works and noted that, “in order to exchange science and technology, and improve regional cooperation in the field of oil and gas, a contract has been agreed upon, the implementation of which required a foreign partner. Therefore, we signed an MoU with the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas which is exclusively active in this field.”
Dr. Vasheghani Farahani noted that creating collaboration with Russia's Science and Technology Park is the topic of another IAU international MoU and the university is planning to launch a complex there so that activities will be more focused.
