General Policy

The Vice-Chancellor’s overall policy is to support all product-oriented research projects that pursue a technological approach.

 

Workflow

A call for research priorities was sent to all faculties, academic departments, research centers, and vice-chancellors of Fasa University of Medical Sciences.

After collecting information, the Policy Council of the Vice-Chancellor for Research and Technology reviewed, categorized, and determined priorities, ensuring alignment with national strategic documents and the university’s mission.

The draft was presented in the General Research Council meeting, where discussions and revisions were made.

Finally, the priorities were approved through voting.
