About Shahid Beheshti University Preface It was our pleasure to be your host during IBO 2018 in Tehran, the capital of Iran and the heart of the great Persian civilization. Exactly 20 years ago Iran joined IBO family and since then has been an active member of all past competitions. In the last year, our dreams came true and we were the host of 29th International Bi- ology Olympiad. Saman Hosseinkhani Chairman of IBO2018 For 2 years, before IBO 2018, my colleagues in the scientific and exec- utive committees worked hard to prepare all required materials and equipment for practical tasks and design of theoretical questions. Three major Iranian universities including Tarbiat Modares University, University of Tehran and Shahid Beheshti University had major scien- tific contributions. Although students were here for competition there is one thing be- yond the competition, friendship. I’m sure our students started strong friendships in order to make the future scientific collaborative network. I have to thank more than 200 scientific committee members, scien- tific assistants and organizers who have worked hard, day and night, in order to bring the dream of IBO 2018 into life.

There is a clear reason for this ambition. Expanding the power of the IRGC serves the interests of both Raisi and his 82-year-old mentor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic.

  • Un Paseo Por La “Torre De La Libertad” De Teherán
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repositorio Universidad de Zaragoza Un paseo por la “torre de la Libertad” de Teherán A diferencia de otras capitales mundiales como París, Roma, New York..., Teherán (Irán) es mucho menos conocida. Es por este motivo que al hablar del Monumento a la Libertad o Monumento Shahyad, en honor al Sah (el emperador de Irán), que tras la revolución iraní de 1979 cambió de nombre a "Torre Azadi" (en idioma persa, significa Libertad), es uno de los monumentos contemporáneos más desconocidos a nivel mundial, aunque esta construcción está situada en una de las entradas a la capital iraní, por lo que su silueta y los 45 metros de altura la hacen inconfundible, siendo visible desde muchas zonas de la urbe, en especial de noche cuando está completamente iluminada [Fig.1].1 Fig. 1.- Vista de la Torre Azadi Fig. 2.- Retrato Col. Christian Triebert Col. Hossein Amanat. El gobierno iraní, para conmemorar el 2.500 aniversario del Imperio Persa, convocó un concurso que ganó con tan sólo 24 años de edad, el joven arquitecto Iraní-canadiense graduado por la Universidad de Teheran, Hossein Amanat en 1966 que formó parte de la revolución cultural iraní de 1979 y durante la que tuvo que huír del país por su creencia religiosa Bahá'í, trasladándose a Canadá en 1980. Asimismo este primer proyecto arquitectónico le dió la oportunidad de crear algunos de los proyectos más distintivos de su país, ya que siempre tuvo como referencia la arquitectura tradicional persa.
