In line with introducing the capacities of the University of Applied Science and Technology (UAST) and expanding its international outreach, as well as becoming acquainted with the scientific and educational opportunities and capabilities of East Asian countries, a virtual meeting was held between the Office of Scientific and International Cooperation of the University and the Scientific Counsellor of Iran in China, South Korea, and Japan on Sunday, June 8, 2025. At the beginning of the meeting, Dr. Bagheri, Director General of the Office of Scientific and International Cooperation of UAST, presented an overview of the university’s strengths and capacities, emphasizing the importance of skill-oriented education in today’s world. He elaborated on the philosophy, objectives, and mission of the university in the field of applied and vocational education and highlighted the key international activities that have been implemented so far. Dr. Bagheri noted that, for various reasons, the East Asian region, particularly China, has received limited attention in the university’s previous international engagements. However, considering the current national context and the priorities defined in the university’s strategic plan, developing scientific and academic relations with China and East Asian countries has now become one of UAST’s top priorities. In his remarks, Dr. Mehriar, the Scientific Counsellor of Iran in China, South Korea, and Japan, stated that vocational and technical education holds a significant place in China, especially in the industrial and service sectors. He further mentioned that he is currently conducting a comprehensive study on the structure of vocational education in China and assured that, upon completion, the results of this research will be submitted to the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Iranian universities.
