reducing the acceleration of Iran's scientific growth; The necessity of policy stability and the connection of the university with the issues of the state At the research council meeting of the Ara Research Center, in examining the factors that reduce the scientific growth of the state, the necessity of correcting the governance of higher education, continuing the scientific policy, strengthening the research infrastructure and guiding the ability of the universities to solve the state's problems was emphasized.

This meeting was held in the presence of Dr. Kamran Tadhu and Dr. Muhammad Ali Zolfighol, former ministers of science, research and technology, Dr. Seyed Abbas Mousavi, former president of Sharif University of Technology, Dr. Sidjatbi Hosseinifard, former president of Gramsar University and Dr. Irfan Khosrowian, former president of Mahrtuatz National University.

In the introduction to the meeting, it was considered utilizing the experience of managers and experts to identify governance issues and turning research findings into policy proposals.

Hossein Morshidian, a researcher in the cultural and social field, presented a research report, distinguishing between the decline in scientific rank and the reduction of science production and its growth, the instability in policy, the decline in the purchasing power of research budgets, the difficulty of preserving the elites, the limitation of international cooperation in connection with the central needs of the university and the weak needs of society. According to him, restoring sustainable scientific growth requires reforming the evaluation system and strengthening the ability to produce and apply knowledge.

Dr. Muhammad Ali Zolfigol, with an emphasis on turning policy proposals into executive measures, called for the strengthening of interdisciplinary cooperation, modernization of the laboratory equipment and the amendment of the regulations for the promotion of faculty members. He presented the composition of the document of the national innovation system and the definition of large-scale projects according to the needs of the country as ways to turn knowledge into technology and wealth.

In criticizing the change of the scientific policy at the same time as the transfer of the managers, Dr. Kamran Dhoja emphasized on the continuation of long-term programs and cooperation of universities with industry and performance bodies. He added: The promotion of the scientific rank should be accompanied by the solution of the country's problems, and besides supporting the livelihood, the researchers' self-confidence and sense of usefulness should also be strengthened.

Dr. Seyed Abbas Mousavi considered sanctions, wear and tear of equipment and limiting scientific communication among the factors for weakening the universities' capacity and emphasized the stability of management and increasing the decision-making authority of managers.
