“Special plans have been put on the agenda to expand the scope of activities and services of the laboratory network,” said Amir Younesian.

“Also, developing standardization and coverage of laboratory services in the agricultural sector to increase productivity, improve food safety, the health of crops and horticultural products, and reduce the consumption of agricultural inputs are other key policies of this network,” he added.

Younesian also noted that facilitating access of manufacturing companies to special services in industrial fields, including industrial design, prototype construction, and rapid manufacturing, by utilizing the capacity of knowledge-based companies, is another strategy of the Iranian laboratory network.

Another Iranian official had also earlier announced plans to establish an integrated national laboratory network in the country.

Yaqoub Fat'hollahi referred to the creation of scattered laboratory networks by the Iranian government, including the Science Ministry and the Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, and underlined the need for the establishment of an integrated national laboratory network.

“Laboratory capacity for scientific research has been created in the country and they work in the form of specialized or national laboratories, and each of these laboratories individually provides services to specialists and researchers,” he said.

Fat'hollahi said that creation of a national laboratory network was proposed to increase laboratory capacities, both in the form of individual laboratories and networks, and integrate the country's laboratories.

“Launching this national network does not mean stopping the activities of other networks, and all laboratory networks should continue to work, and the national network should also be launched with preparations and plans at the national level and with a national and transnational vision to serve all scientists in the Islamic world,” he stressed.
