Iran to Hold Technology Olympiad Late in October
The Technology Olympics event is a standard platform to identify the best technology talents in the country to introduce and use them in different projects.
The annual holding of technology Olympiad competitions in Iran promotes various fields of technology through these competitions. Those interested in these fields should test their level of technical knowledge in these competitions and increase it. These top talents are used to advance knowledge-based projects in the country.
The Technology Olympiad includes the 5 main fields of artificial intelligence, programming, cyber security, robotics and drones.
The face-to-face competition will be held at the Pardis Science and Technology Park near Tehran on October 22 to 28, and it is expected that in each league (out of a total of more than 17 leagues in various technical fields), over 150 people (more than 2000 people in total) will participate in the competition.
Iranian Science Minister Mohammad Ali Zolfi Gol announced in July that the country had gained the second position in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics fields among the regional states.
“[based on the latest report of the Islamic World Science Citation Database (ISC)], Iran ranked second in producing science in the field of artificial intelligence in the region. And about the machine learning index in the region, Saudi Arabia ranked first and Iran ranked second. Turkey's robotics index ranks first and Iran ranks second, and in the field of neural networks and the multi-agent systems, Iran has ranked first,” Zolfi Gol said.
He added that the ISC’s report also shows that the universities of Tehran, Tabriz, Amirkabir, Tarbiat Modares, Tehran Medical Sciences, Islamic Azad University’s Science and Research branch, Sharif, Khajeh Nasir, Shiraz and Science and Technology are among the top universities in the country in the field of artificial intelligence.
