Emphasizing that the promotion of science is a strategic investment for development, he added: In today’s world, the promotion of science is no longer a mere cultural or educational activity, but a national and infrastructure investment for the development of countries. The countries that stand on the frontiers of science and technology were able to establish a link between science and society by promoting science.

To fill this gap, we should focus not only on the production of science, but also on the promotion, understanding and social cooperation in science so that science becomes a part of the decision-making and production system in society.
Referring to the three fundamental steps in the path of science promotion, he added: In order to institutionalize the scientific culture and the real link between the university, industry and society, we must follow the three principles of scientific belief, scientific assistance and cooperation in science. Believing in science means trusting science as the most reliable way to solve the country’s problems. A society that believes in science makes its decisions based on data and evidence, not feelings and tastes. Assistive science to support scientific activities and technologically; From education and research to supporting elites and the application of research results in industry and public services, and cooperation in science; It means inviting people, media, private sector and civil institutions to help the scientific process. Without the national and multilateral cooperation of these three steps, the promotion of science remains only a slogan.
Saying that knowledge is alive when it is used, Hassanzadeh emphasized: If universities are to play a role more effective To play a role in the industrial and social development of the country, they should go through the path of promoting and popularizing science. Promotion of science is a bridge between researchers and industrialists, between laboratory and factory, between theory and practice.

This system is available to the public and in the future, more diverse sections such as the promotion content bank and the national network of science promoters will be added to it.
The head of Iran Information Science and Technology Institute considered the role of promoting science in the development of technology as key and emphasized: technology does not grow in a vacuum; A society that believes in science accepts technology and directs it towards its real needs. In the path of technology development, we need platforms for scientific dialogue between the university, industry and people, and the promotion of science provides exactly such a platform.
