Following the numerous visits of officials of both countries and bilateral agreements achieved after, there are currently 40 joint scientific projects that Tehran and Moscow are determined to run. Iranian Vice-President for Science and Technology Affairs, Sorena Sattari, arrived in Moscow on Monday to attend the third round of the High Commission of Technologic Cooperation between Iran and Russia on Wednesday.
The commission is expected to follow the course of these 40 agreements and joint projects of Tehran and Moscow. Russian Deputy Prime Minister in Charge of Defense and Space Industry Dmitry Rogozin will co-chair the event along with Sattari.
Sattari, during his visit to Moscow, is accompanied by a high-ranking delegation of scientists, researchers, and academicians.
The commission was formed after Sattari’s visit to Moscow in 2014, during which he proposed a mechanism for follow-up, management, and removal of obstacles ahead of the scientific agreements made between the two countries. The offer was warmly welcomed by the Russian side and the first meeting of the high commission was held in August 2015, in Moscow.
The 40 joint research projects are in the areas of nano- and bio-technology, medical equipment, treatment of Incurable diseases, cognitive sciences, and academic cooperation, out of which some have been finalized and some are still being negotiated.
