Unfortunately, during the final part of the ceremony when awards were being presented and a group photo was being taken, there were instances of misconduct and violation of rules that were not in line with the values of Sharif University of Technology. As a result, the President and the Vice President for Academic and Postgraduate Education of the university decided not to participate in the award ceremony and left the conference hall.

The university assures that the officials will take serious action against those responsible for this event and anyone who has been negligent or at fault in this matter will be announced and dealt with promptly.
