Iran’s Contributions and Achievements within the BRICS Science, Technology, and Innovation Steering Committee

Iran has actively contributed to the work of the BRICS Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) Steering Committee by proposing strategic initiatives and strengthening cooperation mechanisms among member states. These efforts reflect Iran’s growing role in shaping the future direction of scientific and technological collaboration within the BRICS framework.

Iran’s Proposals for Revitalizing BRICS Working Groups

At the latest meeting of the BRICS Science, Technology, and Innovation Steering Committee in 2024, Iran presented five strategic proposals aimed at reviving inactive working groups and establishing new ones. These proposals were formally submitted by the BRICS Chair and subsequently circulated among all member countries for review, discussion, and potential adoption.

The proposed initiatives focused on enhancing coordination, addressing emerging scientific and technological priorities, and strengthening the operational effectiveness of BRICS working groups in line with shared development goals.

BRICS Meetings Hosted by Iran in 2025

Another major achievement highlighted during the Steering Committee meeting was Iran’s commitment to host three key BRICS working group meetings in 2025. These meetings are expected to contribute significantly to advancing cooperation, knowledge exchange, and joint project development among BRICS members.

  • The Fourth Meeting of the BRICS Working Group on Geospatial Information Technologies and Their Applications
  • The Fourth Meeting of the BRICS Working Group on New and Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
  • The Seventh Meeting of the BRICS Working Group on Research Infrastructures and Large-Scale Scientific Projects

By hosting these high-level meetings, Iran aims to strengthen its engagement within the BRICS STI framework and facilitate deeper collaboration among member countries in priority scientific and technological domains.
