Abstract

The field of science and technology and universities have an important role as the main drivers of power in the set of elements of progress of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to identify the future of the institution of science in the Islamic Republic of Iran with emphasis on the civilization implications, which is based on identifying the drivers of the institution of science, uncertainties and scenarios. The question of this research can be posed as follows: What are the future scenarios of the science institution of the Islamic Republic of Iran with emphasis on the civilization implications? The research method is based on the scenario method (GBN). In the findings section, key drivers have been identified and the two main uncertainties »focus on education and research versus activity in the system of innovation and governance« and »focus on the national arena versus internationalization« have been identified. Finally, the following four scenarios have been identified: »Focus on education and research at the national level«, »Focus on education and research at the international level«, »Focus on activity in the Ecosystem of innovation and governance at the national level« and »Focus on activity in Ecosystem of Innovation and Global Governance».
