  The development and research projects began in 2011 by the request of the Information Technology committee.

  The Islamic Republic had also attended the previous two WSIS (2005 and 2003) holdings. Finally, countries have come to an agreement to prepare a ten year program in 2015, to set an 11 step goal for the advancement of Information Technology.

  IUST’s public relations team congratulates Dr. Shah Hosseini, Dr. Majid Naderi, Dr. Seyyed Mohammad Razavizadeh, and the IUST community, for the achievement of this honor.
