At the meeting in the Directorate of the Institute, the parties discussed the possibilities of developing cooperation between JINR and Azerbaijan. Among the most promising areas of future cooperation were engineering, natural and information sciences, theoretical and applied physics, chemistry, biology, nanotechnology and mathematics. On behalf of JINR, the event was attended by Director of the Institute Grigory Trubnikov, Vice-Directors Sergey Dmitriev and Lachesar Kostov, Chief Scientific Secretary Sergey Nedelko, Director of DLNP Evgeny Yakushev, Head of the Department of International Cooperation Otilia-Ana Culicov and Head of the Azerbaijani national group at JINR Senior Researcher at DLNP Nazim Huseynov. The delegation from Azerbaijan, headed by the founder of Khazar University Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Hamlet Isaev, included Head of the department of physics and electronics of Khazar University Farida Tatardar, professor of biomedicine and medicinal chemistry, Head of the university research group Sudabe Davaran, as well as the Scientific Secretary of Baku State University Yegyana Aliyeva.

One of the key points of the visit's work programme was a seminar organized at DLNP. During the event, the members of the delegation told the audience about the main activities of Khazar University, as well as the areas of its scientific research. Aspects of international cooperation in the field of science and education and partner organizations of the university in the world were presented. The possibilities of expanding the JINR partner network in the Middle East as a result of development of contacts with Khazar University were discussed. At the same time, they discussed the organization of educational programmes and internships for students from different countries studying at the university on the basis of the JINR scientific infrastructure.
