BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 30. Azerbaijan has
significant potential to develop scientific research and expand
international cooperation, stated Dr. Javid Huseynov, Associate
Professor of Professional Practice in Applied Analytics at Columbia
University (U.S.), while speaking at the 9th ADA International
Education Conference, Trend's correspondent reports from the event.
"There is great potential in Azerbaijan for developing research
infrastructure and establishing new research centers and
laboratories. The main task now is to create mechanisms that will
allow research results to reach the international level and enable
closer cooperation with the world's leading scientific
communities," he said.
According to Huseynov, Azerbaijani scientists need to
participate more actively in leading international scientific
organizations and publish their research in reputable global
journals.
"It is important for researchers from Azerbaijan to publish and
participate in international scientific communities. This creates
opportunities for collaboration with scientists from around the
world and contributes to the development of science in the
country," he said.
The expert noted that a number of Azerbaijani universities are
already achieving strong results in international publishing and
scientific cooperation.
"There are already good examples of such cooperation. This area
needs to be developed further because it strengthens international
ties and expands the participation of Azerbaijani researchers in
the global scientific agenda," Huseynov said.
In his view, the development of research infrastructure should
be accompanied by effective mechanisms to attract talented
specialists and foster innovation.
"It is important to think not only about bringing back
scientists working abroad. We need to create a mechanism that
allows them to continue their research wherever they are while
simultaneously collaborating with universities and industrial
organizations in Azerbaijan, so that the results of this work
benefit the country," the expert emphasized.
