To achieve this goal, the globalization of pharmaceutical knowledge and expertise in the country is crucial. The purpose of this article is to answer this main question: what is the most effective way to develop national and international pharmaceutical networks?
Methods: The methods used in this article include documentary study, trend analysis of pharmaceutical sciences, and interview with the experts.
Results: This study revealed that scientific networking in the field of pharmaceutical sciences requires spatial planning and taking into account the capacities and capabilities of each university. Accordingly, the current trend of pharmaceutical sciences development complied via talking with the experts and stakeholders of each leading university. Subsequently, the pharmacy schools were classified into three types based on their capacity/capability and their roles in the determined national and international levels of networking.
Conclusion: Scientific networking in the field of pharmaceutical sciences requires spatial planning and take account of the capacities and capabilities of each university.
