Iran proposes to create a BRICS network of research labs

Iran has proposed the establishment of a shared network of research laboratories for the BRICS countries. The initiative aims to reduce research costs and narrow the technological gap between member nations. The proposal was presented at a meeting of the BRICS Working Group on Research Infrastructure and Megascience Projects and was supported by participants.

According to Iranian Vice President for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-Based Economy Hossein Afshin, the key point is sharing access to costly laboratory equipment. This approach would lower the expenses on building laboratory infrastructure and improve access to advanced technologies.

The proposal builds on Iran’s existing national lab network. The #BRICS countries have agreed to examine this model in detail for potential adaptation.
