The 8th International Conference on Control and Optimization with Industrial Applications (COIA-2022) kicked off at Baku State University with the support of the Ministry of Digital Development and Transport of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Institute of Applied Mathematics of Baku State University on August 24, 2022.
The event, which will be held from August 24 to 26, serves as a useful platform for researchers and practitioners in the field of control and optimization from around the world to discuss scientific results and exchange ideas. The conference, held in Baku in a hybrid format, is attended by renowned scientists from up to 30 countries.
Speaking at the opening of the conference, Deputy Minister of Digital Development and Transport Rovshan Rustamov noted that as a result of President Ilham Aliyev's purposeful policy of training qualified personnel in science and education, the production of export-oriented, competitive, science-intensive products is one of the key issues for the country's sustainable economic and political development.
The deputy minister said that the International Conference on Management and Optimization with Industrial Application serves such purposes as training of scientific and technical personnel, establishment of international ties and cooperation, implementation of joint scientific research and exchange of experience. R. Rustamov stressed that Azerbaijan moved to the 1st place among the South Caucasus countries by the number of conference papers indexed in the Web of Science database in 2018 and 2020.
R. Rustamov pointed out that in accordance with the relevant Order of President Ilham Aliyev, the "Azerbaijan 2030: National Priorities of Socio-Economic Development" clearly stated the need to create a "creative and innovative society."
