International Center for Persian Studies
International Center for Persian Studies (ICPS) was established in 1989 by the late Professor Seyed-Ja’far Shahidi, the Director of Dehkhoda Institute. The Center is aimed at teaching the Persian language to non-Persian speakers and bringing together Iranian and non-Iranian professors of Persian language and literature to facilitate their research cooperation.
