Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences

The hearings of reports on scientific and scientific-organizational activities for the first half of 2026 are scheduled to be held from June 10 to July 3 at the scientific institutions and organizations, as well as regional scientific departments and centers of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS).

This was stated by the Head of the Department of Science and Education, Doctor of Philology, Associate Professor Serkhan Khaveri, at a meeting of the Presidium of ANAS. According to him, in recent years one of the key directions of the reforms implemented at ANAS has been to enhance the result-oriented nature of scientific activity, strengthen accountability and transparency mechanisms, and introduce modern approaches to scientific management. In this regard, semi-annual reports serve not only as an administrative process, but also as an important platform for evaluating the efficiency of scientific institutions and identifying their development directions.

Serkhan Khaveri noted that the participation of responsible staff members from the Presidium Office of ANAS and scientific departments in the reporting meetings increases the objectivity of the evaluation process, while also contributing to strengthening relations between scientific institutions and the Presidium, and enabling direct discussion of existing issues.

One of the innovations of the current reporting period is the implementation of a pilot project at the Nizami Ganjavi Institute of Literature, where reports are conducted based on a scoring system. The aim of this approach is to enhance objectivity in the evaluation of scientific activity and to analyze results based on measurable indicators.

The scholar emphasized that the results of the pilot project will serve as an important experience for its future application in other scientific institutions of ANAS.
