In recent years more than 500 students and faculty participated in international conferences, workshops, and scientific exchange programs (USAID, IREX, DAAD, Fulbright, Tempus, Copernicus, etc.).[1] But he closest scienstific relationships the University has with Allameh Tabataba’i University. The point is the Ossetian and Farsi languages are tied closely so these universities have good ground for cooperation. So in 2014 the NOSU Center for Iranian Culture was opened with the support of Mekhdi Sanan, the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Moscow.
