In connection with the announcement of 2024 as the Green World Solidarity Year in the Republic of Azerbaijan, an event dedicated to the awarding of the winners was held at Academician Ali Guliyev Institute of Chemistry of Additives of the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The Director General of the Institute, Academician Vagif Farzaliyev made an opening speech and noted that this competition differed from the previous ones: “Thus, scientific reports of young scientists and specialists are devoted to the results of their research in various areas, such as environmental improvement and problem solving, in particular, cleaning up territories from oil pollution, regeneration of waste oils, processing acid resins and other areas of the institute’s laboratories. This can be considered the contribution of the scientific institution and its scientists to the Green World Solidarity Year.”
The academician spoke about the tasks facing young scientists and specialists in the context of global challenges of the modern world, and noted that young people should now become the driving force of the scientific movement. The purpose of such competitions is to motivate them to these processes.
