According to Mehr reporter, Dr. Shahin Akhundzadeh, at the press conference of the 30th Razi Medical Sciences Research Festival held today Monday (December 12, 1403) at the building of the Ministry of Health, stated that the Razi Research Festival is the best festival in the field of medical sciences. The basis of the seventh progress program is that we should have a high position in the region and the world, and the main goal of this festival is to reach scientific authority.
He added: In this festival, we will have awardees in various sectors of basic science and health, young researchers and technology for knowledge-based products of parks and growth centers.
The Vice President of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Health stated that in the Razi Festival, a researcher’s history in research will be reviewed in a five-year period, and continued: In addition, we have a partial view of the best researches and at the international borders, and if someone has a special article in this The part will be selected.
The Vice President of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Health, referring to the capacity of the country’s medical science faculty members, said: Despite the fact that the number of faculty members of the country’s medical sciences universities and doctoral students and clinical assistants is limited, the share of science production in this field is twice the country’s average. And this shows that they are more capable than other researchers of the country. However, the Ministry of Health’s share of research in the country’s budget is about 12%, which is a small amount.
Akhundzadeh pointed out about the 30-year history of the Razi Research Festival: this festival, while introducing selected people, creates pressure on their colleagues and peers. This issue creates competition between medical researchers and this is the guarantee of scientific authority.
He said: At the end of the year, we will also have a conference on reaching scientific authority, which has been held five times so far, and outstanding researchers in this field will be honored.
Referring to the problems of researchers in recent years, the vice president of research and technology of the Ministry of Health said: “Due to economic problems, our researchers are enduring cruel pressures.” The research budget is small and access to international interactions is limited. By holding this festival as best as possible, we are working to fight the sanctions in order to reach its goal, which is a research festival at the national level.
He emphasized: The criteria for selecting the winners of this festival are not academic, but national criteria.

The Deputy Minister of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Health stated that this year’s festival will be held domestically, and said: “Last years, even Iranian researchers living abroad had the opportunity to participate in this festival, but this year due to the change of government, we could not hold this festival internationally.” .
He pointed out: This festival will be held in two real and legal sections, and we will have 15 prizes for the winners of the real section. In the legal department of top universities, publications will be selected.
Akhundzadeh said about the venue of the Razi Festival: “The venue has not been decided yet, but there is a possibility of the festival being held at the Imam Javad Hall of the Ministry of Health.”
He pointed out: Considering that we have increased the awards of the festival, we are looking for a reduction in order to present more awards to selected researchers.
