Research Centers

• Center of Excellence in Health Sociology 

The Center of Excellence in Health Sociology approved by Ministry of Science, Research and Technology in 2019 and started its scientific activities officially from the same time.

 Health as a one of the important indicators of the development of contemporary societies is very vital and important. The sociology of health, alternatively the sociology of health and wellness (or simply health sociology), examines the interaction between society and health at various dimensions and levels of analysis.

We hope that our Center as the first specialized center in the field in Iran, pave the way for other national researchers in the future.
