# ISSH Community The ISSH community is a distinguished, quality-driven network of scholars, researchers, practitioners, knowledge seekers, alumni, students, civil society members, associations, human rights activists, journalists and lawyers from around the world, including a significant number of Persian-speaking individuals. This community has **organically** evolved through the exceptional quality of our educational services and products, including our multimedia website, publications, massive open online courses, webinars and conferences, graduate school, and audio-visual podcasts. These initiatives have been instrumental in fostering an environment centered on quality, research, education, critical thinking, and democratic values such as dialogue. ![[Conference.png]] Starting with no financial resources, ISSH has achieved significant social and educational impact through dedicated fundraising and volunteer efforts. Our unwavering non-partisan approach has established a strong foundation for a diverse and inclusive community, welcoming minorities, ethnicities, and individuals deprived of education, especially women. With ongoing strategic plans, ISSH aims to sustain, expand, and build upon this invaluable foundation. Additionally, we are exploring innovative ways to leverage our international community for more effective communication and impactful outcomes, ensuring continued growth and influence in the years to come. ![[Pasted image 20240712102615.png]] With over 10,000 members (and growing), and more than 57,000 active audiences the ISSH community spans the globe, with few places remaining where we do not have an audience. Most of our members are located in Iran, the US, and Europe. The accompanying map illustrates our global reach, highlighting the widespread presence and influence of our community members and audience worldwide. >[!info]- Join our community and stay updated with our Newsletter > >Enter your name and email and hit submit, you will be redirected to IranAcademia.com for confirmation, then you can explore a wealth of knowledge available in both English and Persian on Iran Academia Website. ><div class="tnp tnp-subscription "><form method="post" action="https://iranacademia.com/?na=s"><input type="hidden" name="nlang" value="fa"><div class="tnp-field tnp-field-firstname"><label for="tnp-5">Name</label><input class="tnp-name" type="text" name="nn" id="tnp-5" value="" placeholder="" required></div><div class="tnp-field tnp-field-surname"><label for="tnp-6">Surname</label><input class="tnp-surname" type="text" name="ns" id="tnp-6" value="" placeholder="" required></div><div class="tnp-field tnp-field-email"><label for="tnp-7">Email</label><input class="tnp-email" type="email" name="ne" id="tnp-7" value="" placeholder="" required></div><div class="tnp-field tnp-field-button" style="text-align: left"><input class="tnp-submit" type="submit" value="Submit" style=""></div></form></div>
