The agreement also envisages organizing seminars, forums, conferences, hackathons, and short-term training programs, as well as creating opportunities for students to participate in practical sessions, laboratory work, and project-based learning. In addition, the preparation and implementation of joint scientific research and innovation projects, along with the exchange of experience in educational technologies and innovative teaching methods, will become one of the key directions of cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special importance is attached to the development of the lifelong learning model within the cooperation framework. In this regard, the School of Lifelong Education, a structural unit of Mingachevir State University, will serve as the main implementing platform for organizing joint training and certification programs, participant registration, assessment, and certification processes. It is planned to organize certification programs in robotics, artificial intelligence, programming, and engineering, as well as short-term professional development and retraining programs for professionals and industry representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The memorandum also includes significant initiatives such as the establishment of an AREA branch in Mingachevir, the organization of STEM-based preparatory courses for schoolchildren and youth in the region, the use of the university\u2019s laboratories and workshop facilities during international and local robotics competitions, and the implementation of mentored robotics training programs for MSU teachers and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should be noted that this cooperation coincides with the 35th anniversary of the establishment of Mingachevir State University and the 10th anniversary of the Azerbaijan Robotics Engineering Academy in 2026. This factor gives the signed Memorandum of Understanding a special symbolic and strategic significance, once again demonstrating the importance attached to the joint development of education, science, and innovation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On February 13, 2026, within the framework of the \u201cQuality, Sustainability and Innovation in Education Forum\u201d hosted by Mingachevir State University, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the university and the Azerbaijan Robotics Engineering Academy.
