Scientific diplomacy allows governments to pursue their interests and demands and interact with the global system in their bilateral or multilateral relations with international organizations, which are essentially organizations for shaping international cooperation. The main question of this research is what are the main characteristics of science diplomacy in the strategic documents of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and how I.R. Iran interact in international organizations (Case study: CERN,TWAS and ISESSCO) based on these characteristics? The methodology of the current research is the descriptive method through analyzing of the qualitative content of macro documents and how to use of these indicators regarding Iran’s interplay with international organizations. The main hypothesis of the article is that with reviewing the major documents of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the features of the country's diplomacy can be expressed in international scientific cooperation, joint scientific research, networking of elites and scientists in the region and the world and the purpose of the total efforts of Iranian diplomacy in the international organizations is based on the implementation of the mentioned indicators.
