Organized by the Standards and Safety Group of the Iran Nano and Micro Technologies Innovation Council, this event provides a valuable platform for academics, technologists, industry leaders, and experts to exchange knowledge and discuss effective ways to participate in the formulation of international standards.

The session aims to strengthen technical cooperation and national strategies for advancing Iran’s role in shaping standards for emerging technologies.

According to the announced schedule, the panel will take place on Monday, November 3, 2025 (12 Aban 1404), from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Persian Gulf Hall, Tehran International Exhibition Center. The program brings together professors, innovators, manufacturers, and other stakeholders in the field to explore mechanisms for effective engagement in international technical committees and global standardization processes.

During the session, participants will share insights on:

• How international standards are drafted and approved

• Ways to engage effectively in technical committee meetings (TCs)

• Methods for submitting expert feedback through national mirror committees

Organizers emphasize that standards serve as the universal language of science and industry, and active participation in their development is essential for strengthening a country’s position in the global technology value chain.

Over recent years, Iran has expanded its involvement in ISO technical committees and specialized working groups, increasing its contributions to international technical documents and standards. This year’s event represents a key step toward institutionalizing that engagement and advancing Iran’s representation in global decision-making platforms.

Participation in this session offers an important opportunity for dialogue, networking, and experience-sharing among key stakeholders in the nanotechnology ecosystem. Attendees will gain a first-hand understanding of international standardization procedures and contribute to defining national priorities and future strategies in this field.

Experts note that international nanotechnology standards not only ensure safety, quality, and interoperability but also serve as a form of soft power in the knowledge-based economy. Iran’s proactive participation in these processes can enhance the credibility of Iranian nanoproducts in global markets, strengthen scientific and technological collaborations, and promote the country’s sustainable industrial growth.

By holding this session in conjunction with the 16th International Nanotechnology Exhibition, Iran seeks to bridge the gap between standardization knowledge and technological capability, creating a foundation for sustainable development, export growth, and a stronger international presence in nanotechnology.
