Iran's Big Science Pitch to BRICS

Iran recently hosted a gathering of BRICS nations to talk about big science projects. This wasn't just any meeting; it was the 7th time these countries got together to discuss how to work on huge research projects together. The event took place in Tehran over three days. Iran had some big ideas to share. First, they wanted to team up with other BRICS countries on large-scale science projects, like building powerful particle accelerators and expanding their national observatory. They also proposed connecting their labs to the BRICS network, so everyone could share high-tech equipment and knowledge. This meeting was a big deal. It brought together scientists from Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Russia, India, and the UAE. They talked about how to make science work better for everyone, how to pay for big projects, and how to use science to help the world. On the first day, Iran showed off what they could do in science and technology. Other countries shared their own stories too. The next day, they started planning how to work together on big science projects. They even reviewed a document about how to make this cooperation work. To show off their science skills, Iran invited foreign scientists to visit places like the National Brain Laboratory and the Institute for Basic Sciences. One official said BRICS is becoming a big player in science and technology, and Iran wants to be a big part of that. The goal of all this is to solve problems that affect everyone. The BRICS group is even working on a digital platform to share information about research projects in energy, nanotechnology, biology, physics, and astronomy. It's all about making science work better for everyone.
