The Science, Technology and Innovation Economics and Financing group was established in 2019. This group is a unique research group in its area of study and research orientations in the country. In recent years, with the increasing significance of research, technology development, and innovation in the comprehensive growth and development of the country, the category of financing and economics of science, technology, and innovation has also gained importance. Thus, the combination of the faculty members of this group has been formed by focusing on the fields of technology management, science, technology policy, economics, and financial management. This group conducts theoretical, practical, and developmental research in the field of research financing, higher education, technology development, and knowledge-based economy at macro, micro, and development levels. It also provides scientific services and policy consultations with a practical and thematic approach for multiple groups. At the macro level, various executive bodies, especially the Secretariat of the Supreme Council of Science, Research and Technology, the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, the Plan and Budget Organization, the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Trade, the Ministry of Economy and the Central Bank are the main clients of the studies and activities of this group. Also, developing programs, evaluating performance, providing consultation to the funds in the field of science and technology (Supreme Council of Science, Research and Technology Fund, Iran National Innovation Fund, Researcher Support Fund, and non-governmental research and technology funds), and providing policy consultations to the legislative body are among the rest of the services provided by faculty members, experts and researchers of this group.
