Imam Khomeini Education and Research Institute (Persian: مؤسسه آموزشی و پژوهشی امام خمینی) (est. 1995) is an academic and research center located in Qom, operating under the supervision of the Supreme Council of Islamic Seminaries. Its activities are sanctioned by the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution.

That same year, the programs were presented to the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution for official accreditation within the national higher education system, receiving approval on July 11, 1995.[2]
