The most successful project implemented by the Council is the organization of scientific competitions in order to attract young specialists to science.
Individual and incentive competitions for young scientists in the Academy were held for the first time by the Council of Young Scientists and Specialists of the Institute of Chemistry of Additives. Competitions for young people such as “Academician A.Guliyev Prize”, “Best Scientific Paper”, “Best Report” and “Young Specialist of the Year” dedicated to the birthday of the nationwide leader H.Aliyev have been already held for 3 years. Even Councils of Young Scientists and Specialists of other institutes of the Academy apply this positive experience in their activities.
In order to attract students and masters to science the “Open Doors” days are systematically organized for them.
