IUT International hosted two distinguished Iranian physicists in elementary particle physics on January 26, 2022. Prof. Dr. Abideh Jafari and Prof. Dr. Hamed Bakhshian, two young scientists and faculty members of the Department of Physics of IUT, who are the key members of the CMS experiment at CERN collaboration project, had a cordial meeting with the director and some experts of IUT International. The cooperation of IUT with CMS experiment in CERN was discussed at this meeting, and plans were taken for a roadmap and future activities.

CERN is the world's largest laboratory complex for particle physics and nuclear physics, established in 1954 by the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Since then, numerous studies have been conducted by the world's top scientists (including 6 Nobel Prize winners). The center, whose main purpose is defined as "discovering the mysteries of the origin of the world", currently employs more than 3,000 physicists and engineers as resident staff in various theoretical and laboratory fields, and more than 6,500 scientists from 500 universities from 80 countries attend short-term visits, which shows the crucial and unique scientific cooperation of international scientists and researchers. After joining the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM) to CERN in 2001, our country cooperated, for the first time, with a mechanical project by producing a mechanical part of the experiment (CMS - Compact Muon Solenoid). IUT, as the top university in the country for international scientific activities, was accepted as the first Iranian university to become a member of the CMS experimnt at CERN in September 2019.
