Dr. Azimifar deemed University of Passau among five top universities in the field of basic sciences; “German universities enjoy a high scientific level in the West as well as that they have a say in technological and practical aspects.”

“So far, MoUs for joint scientific cooperation have been inked with 6 major German universities as we look forward to expand and deepen international relations,” concluded the official.
