There was an objective reason "The Law of Science" to be under discussion for a long time. Thus, the rapid development of modern science accepts that the main directions of development of any new law must reflect this. Despite the long making process of "The Law of Science”, which adopted by the Milli Majlis of the Republic of Azerbaijan and signed by the President Ilham Aliyev”, finally has been got a perfect result. On the occasion of this great achievement, I would like to congratulate ANAS and the entire Azerbaijan scientific community.

However, it should be noted that the adoption of this law sets serious tasks forth Azerbaijan science and scientists. To integrate into the international world of science and to develop scientific innovation by using them, are the significant issues reflected in law.

According to the Sorbonne Declaration at the end of the XX century, science is the field of free and voluntary action. Given this thesis, the creation of new research centers and research universities on a voluntary basis is very important. Law of Science gives ability to scientists and experts, public associations to create scientific funds and other scientific organizations that these are consistent with the fundamental principles of the above-mentioned declaration.

The Law of Science conducts the highly qualified scientific personnel training and the allocation funding of these issues by the state. This is also the result of special attention of the government to the field of science.

If we look at the world's advanced countries, we are witnessing a strong scientific development in the root of their achievements. The law of science gave a special place for integration of education, science and economy, including economy of scientific activites.

Althought, science in all over the world is funded by the state, more recently, giant private organizations such as "Sony", "Samsung" allocates huge funds to the field of science, which are the result of the huge revenues. However, funds had allocated to science substantially belongs to the state. On the other hand, the greater the revenue from the science that only the state has the ability to take advantage of this.

Therefore, the main ingredient in science should be given by the state and the state should pay special attention to the spending of these funds. These principles are clearly shown in law.

One of the most important issues of modern times is belief in science and its results. The law shows the ways to use the results of scientific activities with a special substance.

Today, theft of intellectual property and cultural values is a very important problem in Azerbaijan. Protection of intellectual property rights occupies a special place in the law.

We can confidently say that “The Law of Science”, which sets vital tasks forth ANAS and the entire Azerbaijan, paves the way for achieveing higher academic results.
