In response to the esteemed President's request to utilize the capacities and competencies of university faculty members in resolving the country's challenges, Allameh Tabataba'i University—as the authority in the humanities—has organized sessions focusing on national problems with the objective of applying scientific findings to executive issues. The organization of such sessions was approved during the Research Council meeting of the university on March 2, 2015, and the first session was held on March 3, 2015, at the Institute for Economic Sciences. To date, two years after the inaugural session, various issues and challenges of the country have been examined across 51 different axes and themes. In these sessions, professors have shared the results of their applied research with industry practitioners and executive organizations. The outcomes are subsequently compiled into a "policy recommendation" under the supervision of Dr. Hossein Salimi, the esteemed President of the university, and submitted to the highest executive authorities of the relevant bodies. This initiative aims to present new discussions and findings across various fields while establishing a suitable platform for debate, examination, and addressing macro-level issues. Naturally, the viewpoints of academics play a significant role in better decision-making and policy formulation, thereby enhancing the universities' commitment to fulfilling their social responsibilities.
The organization of these sessions and the partial implementation of their outcomes serve as a beacon of hope for problem identification and resolution, making it essential that the topics of these sessions be designed in alignment with societal needs across various political, economic, social fields, and more.
