This can be taken as a significant achievement considering that 34 Iranian universities were present in the 2022 Shanghai Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS), according to chairman of Tehran-based Islamic World Science & Technology Monitoring and Citation Institute (ISC) Seyeyd Ahmad Fazelzadeh.
These 42 universities were present in 166 subjects, the Iranian scientific official said.
