          About the International Scientific Cooperation Office (ISCO) 

          Our holy city of Mashhad is in a stage of rapid expansion and growth, so a great demand has been placed on our city to offer better urban services and to become actively competitive in the global arena. In turn, great demand has been placed on our city managers and policy makers to meet the needs of its citizens using the latest knowledge, technology and innovations. 
          As a result, the office of ISCO was established in 2004 under the Urban Planning and Development Department of the Municipality of Mashhad.
