The scientists of the Division are engaged in pedagogical activities at universities in the republic as well as in a number of foreign countries, they give lectures, conduct special courses, and are supervisors of bachelors and undergraduates.At the meeting, it was stressed that, the network infrastructures of e-science and e-education were integrated - AzScienceNet and AzEduNet, access to the GEANT network was provided and opportunities were created for online cooperation of domestic scientists with European scientific and educational centers.Also, Academician-Secretary said that, significant work had been done to update the material and technical base of scientific institutions and organizations within the Division and to improve the information supportTouching upon the issue of the active participation of institutes and organizations of the branch in enriching the wiki space with necessary information related to Azerbaijan, its protection and development, Nazim Mammadov noted that, at present all the institutes of the branch have wiki groups that last year were posted over 1000 articles and data.

In the report, it was reported that, international and republican conferences were held, in journals published in Azerbaijani and English, articles by both domestic and foreign scientists were published. Academician added that, last year 10 monographs of the department’s staff were published, 2 of which were published abroad, 19 books, 8 of which saw the light of abroad, 16 textbooks and 17 mass media publications.

At the meeting, it was noted that, the activities of the department during 2018, aimed at expanding international relations, deserve special attention. The institutes of the department established cooperation with more than 200 well-known scientific and educational organizations of foreign countries, carried out joint research works and projects. Nazim Mammadov said that, currently 20 Azerbaijani scientists are working at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR). Most of the scientists who carry out joint research with JINR conduct their research at the institutes of ANAS, relying on the JINR methodology and visit Dubna during short trips.

After listening the report were held discussions, the report was approved. Important results obtained in the Division of Physical, Mathematical and Technical Sciences of ANAS were included in the annual report of the Academy. Various proposals were put forward aimed at raising the level of research, teaching and practical activities.
