Given the strong relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Russia, and with the support, collaboration, and utilization of the existing capacities at both the university and the institute, significant initiatives can be undertaken. With the presence of distinguished faculty members some of whom are among the top 1% of researchers worldwide and the university's dedicated, intelligent, and hardworking students, it is hoped that numerous research projects will be directed toward the university. The NAMI Institute is responsible for the automotive industry and policymaking in Russia’s automotive sector and also has a vehicle testing center. Since the institute's main focus is on scientific research activities, it is also involved in student education. Currently, NAMI has 150 Ph.D. students and 20 postdoctoral researchers.
