Realizing International Educational Justice; Deployment of the Smart “Acalearn” Infrastructure in Gabon and Afghanistan with Support from COMSTECH and the INN and CINVU Networks Coalition
- 2026/10/25
In line with the implementation of technology diplomacy and the development of educational governance infrastructures, the smart system “Acalearn” as a comprehensive digital education ecosystem has been deployed in universities in Gabon and Afghanistan with the strategic support of the Standing Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (COMSTECH), the Inter-Islamic Network on Nanotechnology (INN), and the COMSTECH Inter-Islamic Network on Virtual Universities (CINVU).
According to a Public Relations report, this project designed by the knowledge-based and international institute ISMI and relying on local knowledge-based infrastructures is more than an educational tool. It is a comprehensive “Learning Operating System (Learning OS)” that provides all classroom management tools, smart assessment, and the issuance of valid international certificates through a single integrated portal.
Within the framework of this scientific coalition, and with the aim of realizing “cross-border educational justice,” access to this advanced infrastructure for universities in Gabon and Afghanistan has been operationalized under a social responsibility and science diplomacy plan, with special facilities and maximum access (grant-based). This strategic measure provides a platform for professors and students in underserved regions to connect to the science exchange network of the Islamic world without infrastructural concerns and in accordance with global standards.
Currently, practical workshops for technical knowledge transfer and “professor empowerment” have begun in the target universities in order to make maximum use of Acalearn’s capabilities. This significant step is not only part of Iran’s scientific strength as the host of these networks in developing technology exports, but is also considered a successful model of “network synergy” for strengthening scientific resilience and integrating the higher education space in member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

It is worth mentioning that Acalearn, as the most advanced ecosystem of education, research, and digital technologies in the Islamic world, has been developed by the knowledge-based Islamic Strategic Management Institute (ISMI) and operates under the direct support of the Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (COMSTECH), the Inter-Islamic Network on Nanotechnology (INN), and the COMSTECH Inter-Islamic Network on Virtual Universities (CINVU). By offering innovative solutions in the fields of educational technologies, research, and artificial intelligence, it paves the way for the smartization and digitalization of university infrastructures in member countries.
Notably, the COMSTECH Inter-Islamic Network on Virtual Universities (CINVU) is an international educational, research, knowledge-based, and technology network affiliated with the Ministerial Standing Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (COMSTECH), which is hosted by Shahid Beheshti University of Iran on behalf of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology of Iran.
With the idea of creating educational equity, CINVU is a base for expanding universal public education based on smart and online technology that by networking of capacities, uses the power of education, research, innovation, and technology, in line with the approach of helping to empower and advance the countries of the Islamic world.
