The Sharif University of Technology ( Persian دانشگاه صنعتی شریف Dāneschgāh-e San'ati-ye Sharif ), formerly Aryamehr Technical University (دانشگاه صنعتی آریامهر Dāneschgāh-e San'ati-ye Aryāmehr ) is the most renowned technical and scientific university in Iran .
It is located near Azadi Square in Tehran . The university was founded in 1965 on the initiative of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi based on the model of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . The founding rector was Mohammad Ali Mojtahedi . The university was renamed Sharif University after Majid Sharif Vaghefi , a member of the People's Mojahedin , after the Islamic Revolution . There are currently over 9,000 students enrolled at Sharif University.
Political student groups
Sharif University students were increasingly involved in the second Iranian reform movement (Khordad movement). The main groups between 1997 and 2003 were the Basitsch on the one hand and the Association of Muslim Students ( Andschoman , dt. "Association") on the other. Most of the other groups at the university can be assigned to these two groups.
The Basich were in sharp opposition to the then Iranian President Mohammad Chātami , while the Andschoman were counted among his supporters. There were numerous conflicts between the two groups. Heated debates, attacks on blackboards and speech tribunals marked the reluctant activities of both groups. Ayeneh Sharif der Anzhoman magazine has been attacked several times. After 2003, the situation calmed down, like at most other Iranian universities, only to flare up again at Sharif in 2006: There were violent riots when the Basitsch tried to bury the dead bodies of martyrs of the Iraq-Iranian war in the university mosque.
