Standing Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (COMSTECH)

 

Comstech was established by the Islamic Summit in 1981 and it is composed of all the member states of OIC.Comstech aims at assessment of human and material resources, building of indigenous capabilities in the fields of science and technology, promotion and continuing cooperation and coordination in scientific and technological areas of its member states and creation of effective institutional structure for planning research, development and monitoring of scientific and technological activities at Ummah level.

COMSTECH’s Inter-Library Resource Network Service is a network among the member states based on which all members are obliged to provide the users of other members with free of charge information services. At the moment, RICeST is a full member of this network (start of the membership, Jan. 6, 2003) and it has already provided a number of members with ID PASSWORDS for using RICeST’s databases. In addition to meeting the members’ information needs, RICeST is trying to make use of the scientific information available in this network to meet the information needs of the Iranian and regional users.
