In order to have proper governance we need scientific governance, and in order to realize scientific governance we need to utilize the capacity of the universities and research institutes in the country.
After the revolution, good and very efficient research institutes were established in Iran, each of which operates in fields such as technology and engineering, agriculture, food and human sciences, and they are considered an irreplaceable ability in the country. The government has always tried to use these abilities in making decisions.
