Vice President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari inaugurated the centers during his visit to the university on Monday, his office’s website Isti.ir reported.
The psychology tech center, backed by UT’s Psychology Department, can house 20 teams. The center provides financial aid, shared workspace, consultation on commercializing their ideas and business management. Four knowledge-based teams have already started working at the site.
