The Institute of Humanities and Cultural Studies is affiliated with the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology of Iran. This organization is a research center that studies and researches in the field of humanities and cultural studies.

Parviz Karami, Secretary of the Culture and Knowledge-Based Economy and Development of Soft and Creative Industries Headquarters, said at the signing ceremony of the memorandum: Ideas and humanities produced in this research institute. With the support of the Vice Presidency of Science and Technology and the cooperation of the headquarters, we hope that the creative and innovation house of this research institute will be established in the shortest possible time.

 Adviser to the Vice President of Science and Technology, added: "This research institute, with its long history, has a reservoir and a rich accumulation of cultural studies and humanities." The signing of today's Memorandum of Understanding and the establishment of the House of Creativity and Innovation will pave the way for the commercialization of culture, arts and humanities and beneficial science. It should be noted that about 50% of the output of the country's university centers are women who are interested in pursuing their education as a job in the community. Also, 50% of all university graduates are related to humanities and arts, which face serious challenges in the labor market. Launching this creative and innovative house can be effective in shaping the ecosystem of cultural industries and creating employment in this field.

 He added: "These numbers remind us of the need for more leaps and bounds in the field of cinema industry. When our cinematographers are so admired in the world arena and win awards such as Oscars, Berlin Bears or Shanghai Asian Awards, this is a sign of Iranian cinema's competence in It is the world, but in terms of wealth and employment, our situation is not favorable. In fact, this small volume of cinema turnover as one of the sub-branches of soft and creative industries is not acceptable. There are currently 10 different disciplines in the soft and creative industries, each of which cannot be developed without the macro development of the innovation ecosystem in the country. Ecological components such as creative homes, innovation centers or accelerators should be developed as much as possible to make the necessary bedding.

Pointing to the importance of acquainting academics with soft and identity-building technologies, Karami said: "Unless academics or artists and cultural activists become acquainted with new technologies in their field of work, there can be no hope of a leap in this field." At present, the turnover of the toy industry in the world is about $ 100 billion, while this number is equivalent to $ 350 million in our country, of which most goods are imported and only $ 15 million is made by Iranian toys. These numbers show us the way.

In this event, Hossein Ali Ghobadi, the director of the Institute of Humanities and Cultural Studies, while pointing to the support of the Vice Presidency of Science and Technology in general and the Secretary of the Culture and Knowledge-Based Economy Headquarters in particular, added: In this research institute, it sought to achieve great goals, and this research institute, as the first creative house and innovation of humanities and cultural studies, will try to turn the existing studies and knowledge and cultural activists towards entrepreneurship and production of added value and effectiveness in the community.
