Message from the President of the Center
Since research centers are considered as the most important pillar of science production throughout scientific centers and should have the art of converting experience into science, they should move in this direction with a plan and purpose to achieve this goal. In this regard, the center’s goal is to enter the base. The main principles of science and entry into technology are superior, so the laboratory of this center should be developed and also technology and invention should be the headline of the movement, which is being done and developed in several executive formats. We hope to succeed in this great goal
