Iran is a remarkable land emerging from a history and civilization of several thousand years, with a deep, rooted, and authentic culture that is unparalleled in the world. It is a treasure trove of science, wisdom, and knowledge that has captivated the world with its numerous renowned scholars, thinkers, and intellectuals.
A great person once said: Love for the homeland and understanding it is a necessity, not an\u00a0incident, and now, in this brief opportunity, to speak of understanding this dear ancient land\u00a0is an unparalleled necessity, a challenging task that can only be achieved through devotion\u00a0and passion, allowing us to present a vast and deep ocean in a small vessel and to speak of a\u00a0lofty purpose and aim.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The role of Iranologists and the goals of the project<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This project is a tribute to the efforts of Iranologists who have worked and continue to strive\u00a0to introduce the culture and civilization of Iran. The breadth, impact, and extensive nature\u00a0of many of these research efforts have led to the recognition of various aspects of the\u00a0culture and civilization of this land, and in this process, a large number of intellectuals,\u00a0celebrities, and scientific, literary, and historical works of Iran have been introduced to the\u00a0world. Since the goal of an Iranologist is to navigate the labyrinth of history and culture\u00a0through study, research, and inquiry, the effort to achieve such a purpose has drawn the\u00a0attention of the global community to the ancient civilization and history of this land and has\u00a0led to the establishment of Iranology programs in many universities worldwide.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This project has no time limit and strives as much as possible for continuity and to achieve its lofty goals. In this regard, the stakeholders, researchers, and writers in various sections of this project continuously endeavor to prepare useful and credible content for the use of communities and academic centers, hoping that these efforts will lead researchers to better achievements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The project of the Encyclopedia of Iranologists Studies is a research-educational database\u00a0currently pursuing its objectives based on four major activities. These four activities, which\u00a0are interdependent and complementary, address various issues related to Iran. Introducing\u00a0Iranologists, recognizing Iranian intellectuals, authoring articles on Iranology topics and\u00a0Iranian intellectuals, and gathering news and events related to Iranology are the four\u00a0activities considered as the foundation of this project. Regarding the introduction of\u00a0Iranologists and the extensive nature of this activity, it is important to note that at the\u00a0beginning of the project, almost a thousand titles of Iranologists were identified for
introduction on the website, which gradually increased to over a thousand titles as the\u00a0project progressed. It is noteworthy that this field of our project continues, and the list of\u00a0<\/span>Iranologists names is constantly growing.<\/span><\/p>

Based on the vision, this project will have additional dimensions that will gradually be added\u00a0to the current website to provide a more comprehensive overview of Iran. Sections such as\u00a0Iranian folklore and literature, Islamic philosophy, history, civilization, religion, archaeology,\u00a0architecture, and Iranian art, among others, will be included.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Currently, the content of this project is provided in Persian and English, which can be useful for almost all students of Iranology and researchers in the field of Iranian studies worldwide.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Format and Structure of the Content<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Numerous books and articles have been written and published so far on topics related to\u00a0Iranian studies. However, the stakeholders of this project aim to provide a certain structure\u00a0for each section, which includes a concise summary of the existing documents in simple,
standardized language, in a way that attracts the attention and use of researchers both inside and outside Iran. Comprehensive content, maximally within five pages, with appropriate headings and a list of credible and citable references that facilitates the research path for seekers, professors, and students in the field of Iranology.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Introduction of the Project Founders<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The project of the Encyclopedia of Iranologists Studies was initiated in 2015 and has been active since then with the support of Dr. Zahra (Nikoo) Tafreshi and her husband, Reza Torkzadeh, with the aim of supporting and boosting research in the field of Iranology. The primary concern of the founders of this project is to identify Iranologists worldwide.
Introducing and recognizing respected individuals who have genuinely sought knowledge and dedicated their lives to researching Iran. Intellectuals who have tirelessly worked to understand the unique characteristics of Iran and to introduce these features to the outside world. According to the supporters of this project, without the efforts and endeavors of Iranologists, our renowned land would not have been introduced to the world as it should have been. Therefore, as Iranians, we are continuously indebted to this selfless effort and have a duty to recognize these benevolent individuals and appreciate their legacy. This significant effort to gather the names and works of Iranologists worldwide under a unique umbrella to provide scientific and credible content shapes our mission in the project of the Encyclopedia of Iranologists Studies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Joseph Arthur de Gobineau stated in his book “Three Years in Asia” that “Iran, in my view, is a granite rock that, although the waves of events have tossed it this way and that, remains a granite rock and not only does it not perish but every year that passes in its time will last a thousand years”. Therefore, we appreciate and welcome all intellectuals for their presence and cooperation as they have endeavored to understand and introduce this granite rock and explore its valuable angles and antiquity. We hope that this plan and map will be an effective step toward a deeper connection and affection between you and our beloved ancient land, Iran.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
