11 Editors Preface O ver the last two decades, Iran has gone through a major industrial transformation in spite of abnormal obstacles in the path of the country s development. All indicators point to the industrial takeoff of the economy. However, little is known in the English-speaking world about these fundamental developments and the challenges the policy planners faced and continue to face in the development processes. This book is an attempt to fill this knowledge gap by critically examining, first, the Iranian government s science, technology, and industrial policies that support the industrialization and national defense of the country, and, second, by reviewing the innovation activities of Iranian enterprises. Specifically, the book will, for the first time, present in a single volume an overview of the organizations, policies, conduct, and performance of those government organizations that have the task of developing traditional as well as emerging technologies in the country. In short, the book is a collection of chapters that allows us to gain an understanding of the structure and dynamics of the science and technology policies of the Iranian government. Furthermore, the chapters will critically examine the major challenges that the country faces in developing traditional and emerging technologies. The Iranian government plays a pivotal role in development of technologies and the production of aggregate output in the country. With the state taking a prominent role in technological development in Iran, and toward the characteristic uniformity of the proposed chapters in the book, the editors invited a group of authors to contribute chapters related to a broad outline of the proposed book, and have the honor of having had their invitation accepted. Most of the authors are in a position of leadership in organizations devoted to the creation of knowledge bases in relevant technologies, and all of them have intimate knowledge
12 xii Editors Preface of the activities of the institutions and agencies with which they are associated. This volume is the product of the collective efforts of all of the contributors to this book. Accordingly, the views expressed in the following chapters are those of the authors of the chapters and not of the editors of the book. We are grateful to Ms. Evelyn Martens for her editorial assistance in reviewing the chapters.
13 Foreword T he important role that Iran is taking in international scientific cooperation and the pivotal role it is playing in learning, gaining experience, and contributing to two-way transfers of advanced science and technology between itself and the international community is not a phenomenon that is familiar to everyone. In order to establish a powerful, effective presence on this stage and achieve success in attaining this goal, all Iranian researchers, scientists, and managers as well as their international counterparts must be aware of each other s capabilities in science and technology. This awareness is a precondition for the expansion of the initiation of and the support of ongoing scientific and technical collaborations and interactions between Iranian researchers and their international colleagues. The Center for International Scientific Studies and Cooperation [CISSC] has been established to support scientific activities, promote the development of technology, and expand the relationship between Iranian universities and research centers on the one hand, and international scientific centers on the other. Accordingly, the Center, in order to create a suitable framework for promoting efficacy in the interactions between Iranian scholars and researchers and their international collaborators, provides financial assistance as well as technical and moral support to researchers and scholars in Iran. The present book aims to introduce the achievements of Iranian scientists, researchers, and industrialists who are active in the science and technology fields to the international community. By supporting this project, which is the result of a set of timely, insightful analyses concerning the latest scientific and technological developments in Iran that make up the chapters of the book, the Center believes it is promoting further research and development activities in Iran, and by doing so, it has implemented its mission in this regard.
