A Basic and Strategic Review of Islamic-Iranian Model of Science and Technology Development

Author

Abstract

The article first studies the basic discussions on science and technology. Then, using a philosophical-analytic approach it is shown that the model of science and technology development can be described as Islamic-Iranian for two main reasons. Based on this introduction, it is argued that the national system of innovation is not sufficient to cover the concept of Islamic-Iranian model of science and technology development and that applying the concept of context system can provide a more comprehensive analysis in this case. In the second part of the article, the importance of scientific policy versus research method and the motivation for concentration on Islamic-Iranian model are studied. Then, strategies for realizing the Islamic-Iranian model of science and technology development are offered. The ideas of these strategies come from discussions with scholars of this field. Then, these ideas have been incorporated in brainstorm meetings of experts of science and technology policy.
