He requested the formation of a coastal campus and the creation of courses and majors relevant to these needs. He considered research related to the structural challenges of industries as a priority for this new campus and suggested expanding the university's collaboration with ISOICO in education and research through defining joint projects and courses.
In the same meeting, Alireza Jafarpour, the CEO of the Star Refinery in the Persian Gulf, also highlighted the shortage of native specialized workforce and emphasized the need for the university to offer courses and majors related to oil and refining to empower the local people for better engagement in refining facilities.

Mehdi Dusti, the governor of Hormozgan province, emphasized the importance of developing maritime, steel-related, and oil and refining-related majors in the province. He mentioned that in addition to the hardware needs and the necessity of training skilled engineers, attention should be paid to the soft industrial areas, including management, legal issues, and economic models that are relevant to the province's needs. He suggested that the university should enter these areas to train the necessary human capital for the future and to enhance the research and industrial capacities of the province through knowledge-based initiatives.
