With the help of professors ofHumanities, these pathologies should be studied and prevention processed need to be developed.”

Pointing to the recent meeting between academic figures and the Supreme Leader, Deputy Minister of Science, research and Technology for Cultural Affairs said, “If government officials are supposed to receive strategies about the development of our countryfrom academics, these issues should be brought up by professors of Humanities in Iran.”

“We need to set the right culture in our society, so that knowledge-based companies in the field of Humanities can also be established in the country,” he added.

“Part of the activities aimed at creating knowledge-based companies should be directed at the promotion ofHumanities dialogue in the country, which requires the effort of the pioneers of this field,” Head of the Institute of Social and Cultural Studies said.
