VIAS activities cover a range of different topics/areas which are divided into sections.
Each section is led by an expert. VIAS members are encouraged to contribute to these. In addition, workgroups can be formed for special events that do not easily fit into the predefined categories.

VIAS traditionally has a number of active sections covering the arts and humanities as well as cultural events, organizing exhibitions, recitals and bookreadings as well as entertainment and cultural events – forming a broad base for the dissemination of Iranian culture and heritage as well as reaching out to a wider audience and fostering public relations.
