YEREVAN, March 29. /ARKA/. Science development in Armenia can be fostered through integrating Armenian scientific institutes, said Hamlet Navasardyan, Director of International Science and Technology Center’s Armenian branch.
“In present there are nearly 120 scientific organizations in Armenia. I think this number is pretty high for Armenia. This sphere needs infrastructural changes, in particular, merge of institutes,” he said.
Navasardyan said this process will help to bring together human and financial resources in order to concentrate research around concrete target spheres.
According to him, there are groups of professional scientists in many institutions, who have great academic potential and who are closely involved into international scientific cooperation, in particular, in physics, chemistry and biology.
He also said that not all the institutes can offer high-quality scientific research which can correspond to the world standards and the country’s scientific demands.
“We should avoid mechanical merge. We should develop some special approach based on scientific discussions, what will allow to model an optimal action strategy,” Navasardyan said.--0—
