1. National attention to science and technology as an organized priority.
2. Division of national work for progress in the fields of science, technology and innovation.
3. The possibility of evaluating and measuring the country’s scientific growth based on specific indicators.
Challenges and the need for updating
In another part of his speech, Hassanzadeh emphasized the need to update the comprehensive scientific map of the country and stated: Science and technology is a dynamic and changing process. The indicators compiled in 2006-2009 need to be reviewed today. For example, topics such as knowledge-based companies and artificial intelligence, which have received global attention in recent years, were not foreseen in this map.

The comprehensive plan should focus more on solving national problems and influencing science and technology.
Suggestions for improvement
The president of Irandak suggested that in the revision of the comprehensive scientific map of the country, updating mechanisms to adapt to rapid changes should be considered, division of institutional work should be made more transparent and without overlapping, and measurable and reality-based indicators should be developed.
