“Advancing the Azerbaijani science with the involvement of the country’s scientists living abroad and training modern era specialists are the need of the hour,” said Hafiz Pashayev, Rector of ADA University as he addressed the opening ceremony of the Forum of Azerbaijani Scientists Living Abroad held Monday in Baku.

Highlighting the activities of ADA University, Rector Hafiz Pashayev mentioned that, with its successful path of development, the university had introduced several innovations.

“During the Soviet period, science and education were well-developed in Azerbaijan. Scientists and specialists from abroad were brought to the Baku State University. There was also a need to involve specialists in the field of exact sciences, which was fulfilled at the expense of scientists from the USSR,” he noted.

“After Azerbaijan regained its independence, like in all other fields, it was necessary to implement innovations in the field of science and education,” the rector mentioned.

"We need to think about what should be done for advancing the Azerbaijani science and training professionals. Today, we have talented young people growing up in Azerbaijan. We are confident that those young people will contribute to the development of science and education in our country," Hafiz Pashayev underlined.
