History


The Order of Arts and Science was initially instituted during the Qajar period in 1851. The Order is believed to have been modified during the Pahlavi reign. The Order was conferred by the Minister of Education in 4 Classes to Iranian nationals in recognition of substantial scientific or educational service towards the advancement of Iran. Foreigners who were approved by Iranian or other appropriate authorities were also eligible for the award. It is believed that the Order was often presented to the recipient on New Year celebrations or on the 14th day of the month of Mehr in the Persian calendar.
