The Iran 1400 Project envisions a future for Iran shaped by an unbiased understanding of its past. As the country moves further into the 1400s of Iran’s Solar Hijri calendar, the Project reflects on the evolution of ideas and institutions over the previous century. By fostering thoughtful and impartial dialogue and reflection, the Iran 1400 Project seeks to inspire a forward-looking vision of Iran that aligns with the aspirations of the Iranian people.
The mission of the Iran 1400 Project is to harness technology, knowledge, collaboration, and the collective wisdom of its contributors to create a safe space for Iranians and interested parties to engage in meaningful discussions about the country’s future. With the belief that knowledge drives progress, the Project offers its studies of Iran in Farsi and English, free of charge, to inspire a broad audience to envision their aspirations for Iran. By identifying key trends and evaluating the past century’s successes, failures, and pivotal moments, Iranians and interested parties can refine their objectives, remain adaptable to evolving circumstances, and explore collaborative approaches to bring their shared visions to fruition.
The Iran 1400 Project invites scholars, experts, and intellectuals to share their assessment of the evolution of institutions and ideas during the past 100 years to inspire a vision of Iran in the 1400s.
