Another awareness-raising training was organized at Mingachevir State University to enhance the scientific potential of young researchers and to align master’s theses with modern standards. The training, intended for master’s students of the Department of Energy, was dedicated to the topic “Preparation of Master’s Theses in Energy Research and Research Methodology.”

The central focus of the training was the implementation of the “dual supervision” model and its role in the development of young researchers. The main objective of this approach is to ensure that practical, application-oriented research conducted by master’s students is systematized at the level of fundamental scientific work. Through this model, students not only acquire academic theoretical knowledge but also integrate industrial experience into their research, enabling them to achieve more competitive scientific outcomes.

During the training, Associate Professor Kamala Ayyubova from the Department of Energy and PhD in Technical Sciences Liliya Suleymanova delivered presentations, providing detailed information on the structural elements of thesis writing, identifying scientific novelty, and effectively using literature available in international academic databases. The speakers emphasized that this approach enables young researchers to synthesize academic and practical knowledge and present their research at a high level on both local and international professional scientific platforms.

The second part of the training continued in an interactive Q&A format. Master’s students asked questions related to the selection of research topics, the reflection of innovative solutions in the energy sector within scientific work, and data analysis.

It was noted that such trainings are an important component of Mingachevir State University’s strategy to ensure the integration of education and research, as well as to contribute to the preparation of highly qualified specialists in the field of energy.
