In this regard, defining science and education as priority areas occupies a special place among the strategic goals of developed countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The celebration of Science Day in Azerbaijan is of great importance in terms of increasing attention to the activities of scientists and researchers, appreciating scientific achievements, supporting the development of a new generation of researchers, strengthening scientific awareness, and identifying future tasks in this field. This significant day also serves as a reflection of the scientific activities carried out in academic and higher education institutions before society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The establishment of March 27 as \u201cScience Day\u201d in the Republic of Azerbaijan is a clear example of the state\u2019s high attention and support for science. According to the decree signed by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan on April 9, 2018, this day is celebrated on March 27 in connection with the establishment of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences in 1945. This decision reflects the high value placed on science and the work of scientists by the country\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many countries around the world also attach special importance to science. In accordance with the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly, November 10 is celebrated as the World Science Day for Peace and Development. In addition, national science days and weeks are organized in various countries to promote scientific development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout its more than 80 years of activity, the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences has played an important role in the socio-economic and cultural-spiritual development of the country. The Academy has made exceptional contributions to the formation of scientific potential, the development of fundamental and applied sciences, and the establishment of scientific schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National Leader Heydar Aliyev\u2019s description of the Academy as the \u201cnational treasure of the Azerbaijani people\u201d once again confirms the significance of this scientific institution in public life. Thanks to the Academy\u2019s activities, a national intellectual elite was formed, the scientific and cultural environment developed, and the ideas of statehood were strengthened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Azerbaijani scientists are successfully represented in prestigious international scientific databases such as \u201cWeb of Science\u201d and \u201cScopus,\u201d increasing the scientific reputation of the country through high citation indicators. The opportunities created by the state enable young researchers to gain international experience and support the integration of Azerbaijani science into the global scientific community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Institutional reforms implemented in recent years have also made significant contributions to the development of science. The establishment of the Ministry of Science and Education in 2022 and the launch of the State Agency for Science and Higher Education under the ministry laid the foundation for a new stage in the management of scientific activity. The results of these reforms are already evident in the commercialization of scientific outcomes and the expansion of university\u2013industry cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Science Day is also a stage where achievements are evaluated and future goals are determined. By choosing a development model based on science, the Azerbaijani state strengthens the foundations of a sustainable and competitive future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the modern era, global challenges and the new realities formed after our country\u2019s historic Victory define new responsibilities for Azerbaijani science. Azerbaijani intellectuals and the scientific community actively participate in the implementation of state policy in fulfilling these responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state\u2019s continuous support for science and the purposeful reforms being implemented further accelerate the development of Azerbaijani science. Thanks to the existing scientific potential and intellectual capabilities, Azerbaijani science will continue to play a leading role in the country\u2019s socio-economic and cultural development and make valuable contributions to world science in the future as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u0410\u043d\u0430\u0440 \u042d\u043c\u0438\u043d\u043e\u0432<\/strong><br>Rector of Mingachevir State University<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Science is considered one of the main indicators of a country\u2019s overall level of development, as it serves as a key criterion for social progress.
