7-What are your suggestions for promotion of relation for foreign researchers in future as

ISOBC member?

Besides increasing collaborative research, publications and seminars; ISOBC members from

outside Iran need to be involved actively in reporting the developments of research and experts

in their countries and published in ISOBC newsletter and website. It would be nice if the list of

ISOBC members appear on the web.
