The Forum of Azerbaijani Scientists Living Abroad, supported by the State Committee for Work with Diaspora and the Ministry of Science and Education, and organized by the World Association of Azerbaijani Scholars, has commenced in Baku.
The event began with the national anthem of Azerbaijan, followed by a minute of silence in honor of the martyrs who died for Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity.
Subsequently, Farah Aliyeva, Head of the Department of Humanitarian Policy, Diaspora, Multiculturalism and Religious Issues of the Presidential Administration, read out President Ilham Aliyev’s address to the event participants.
The three-day event gathers nearly 200 scientific figures, including over 80 Azerbaijani scholars from 23 countries.
The forum aims to foster connections among Azerbaijani scientists abroad, facilitate interactions with local scientists, and promote the exchange knowledge and experience.
Participants will also visit the cities of Shusha and Khankendi and engage in discussions with teaching staff at Garabagh University.
