Khwarizmi International Award
In today’s world, a strong scientific and technological foundation is crucial to a country’s economic development. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, people in the country paid more and more attention to the development of science and technology.
In 1987, Iran’s Leading Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST), which is affiliated with the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, decided to establish an award to recognize Iran’s outstanding achievements in the field of science and technology.
IROST proposes the establishment of the Khwarazmi Prize in memory of the great Iranian mathematician and astronomer Abu Jafar Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi (770-840 AD).
In 1987, the first Khwarizmi Prize called on Iranian nationals to showcase their outstanding contributions, inventions or innovations.
The fifth Khwarizmi Award established a foreign department and the Khwarizmi Award became international.
In 1997, Iranian researchers and scientists living abroad were invited to participate in this prestigious scientific competition.
International organizations such as APCTT, Colombo Plan, COMSATS, COMSTECH, ECO, ECO Cultural Institute (ECI), FAO, ICARDA, IOR-ARC (RCSTT), ISESCO, TWAS, UNESCO, UNIDO, WAITRO and WIPO honored the KIA winners.
KIA’s areas of participation are expanding year by year, attracting more scientists from all over the world. Today, the Khwarezmi International Awards is continuing its path of success with greater participation and greater international recognition.
KIA recognizes the efforts of researchers, innovators and inventors around the world and appreciates their valuable achievements and contributions to various fields of science and technology. KIA is held annually.
