Dear Academy staff,

I heartily congratulate the staff of the National Academy of Sciences and the scientific community of our country on the occasion of the Science Day, which is the professional holiday of scientists, on March 27.

Science is one of the main driving forces of the intellectual development, cultural advancement and spiritual evolution of society. The Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences and our scientists have played an important role in the formation and development of the scientific potential of our country for many years, in the comprehensive progress of our independent state and in the upbringing and training of new scientific generations.

Today, the multifaceted scientific activity of scientists, their innovative approaches and creative use of world experience to serve the cultural and technical advancement of our country determine the leading directions of the Academy's activities. The research conducted not only contributes to the development of the digital society in our country, but also serves to strengthen the international recognition and prestige of Azerbaijani science.

The scientific activity of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences and our scientists is highly appreciated by the Azerbaijani state, as always. The participation of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in the 80th anniversary meeting of ANAS and his profound programmatic speech set new tasks for us in the development of science in the new historical period. Currently, our scientific teams are working confidently on ways to implement new and important tasks related to the application of artificial intelligence technologies in various fields of science.

I wish you new successes in your scientific activities, creative energy and good health in your personal life.

Isa HABIBBEYLI

President of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, academician
