Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and the Netherlands are around our scientific ranking, and in order to reach higher ranks, our policies in the country must undergo transformation.
He pointed to the capacity of Article 11 and 13 of the Knowledge Base Law, and said: Universities have not been able to use the benefits of the Knowledge Base Law in these years. We must plan for the vitality of knowledge-based companies.

For some years, inconsistency with global research caused us to lag behind in the global arena. At the edges of knowledge, we are still in the early stages of research and we can plan for it.

Some conversations made the researchers feel that the credibility of the research has decreased in the eyes of the authorities; This view must be corrected.
