UNESCO Tehran was held. The head of the UNESCO Regional Office attended the meeting virtually.
Mehdizadeh emphasized in this meeting: In this project, with the aim of developing technologies and innovations in the field of geology and mining, we are ready to cooperate in the form of UNESCO Earth Science Technology Advisory arm.
In this meeting, various axes and suggestions were examined. Emphasizing the Supreme Leader's menus on the importance of the islands, especially Hormoz, as well as UNESCO's mission to pay attention to the natural sciences, common areas of cooperation between the Innovation and Technologies Development Plan for Geology, Mining and Mining Industries for Vice President for Science and Technology. Preservation of Hormoz soil was discussed in this meeting.
Development of medical geology
Another axis discussed was the development of medical geology due to the importance of this field for the country. Ecological development of innovations and technologies in the field of geology, mining and mining industries was another topic that was discussed.
Another focus of the meeting was the proposal for the development plan of Geology, Mining and Mining Industries to establish a chair "Geological Technologies and Innovations in Mining and Mining Industries", which was welcomed by UNESCO and was set to be established as soon as possible. Take practical action.
This axis followed the preparation and production of the documentary "Earth Face" and its first part "Hormoz, the Island of Colors", which was done in order to introduce Iran's geological heritage with emphasis on Hormoz Island, create sustainable employment on the island and prevent the sale of raw materials. Has been.
Macro Program "Support for Cultural Heritage"
