In the event professors, masters and students of Baku State University, Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University, Azerbaijan State Pedagogical University, as well as teachers and pupils of the Lyceum after academician Zarifa Aliyeva, Young Talents Lyceum attached to Baku State University, Baku European Lyceum and Baku State University, Classic Gymnasium №160 and Baku Secondary School № 192 participated in the event.

Vice-president of ANAS, director of the institute, academician Dilgam Tagiyev opened the conference and stated that 2019 has been proclaimed the "International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements" by the United Nations General Assembly. This event was dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the discovery of Periodic system of chemical elements by Russian scientist Dmitry Mendeleev and therefore universities and scientific centers of numerous countries of the world hold events on this regard. Then, academician gave the report “The periodic system of chemical elements as a fundamental law of nature”.

Academician noted that the discovery of the Periodic system by Mendeleeev allowed not only systematizing the characteristics of elements, but also forecasting the existence of unknown elements and describing their properties. The development and practical use of theoretical bases of conceptions determined by the Periodic system are still relevant. The system gives a basis for understanding chemical processes and creation of modern chemical technologies. Considering the periodic system of chemical elements the works on obtaining stable alloys and substances with definite properties, as well as using nuclear energy are carried out. 

The periodic system stands on the basis of numerous discoveries made in chemistry and physics in 20th century.

Then dean of Chemistry Faculty of BSU, professor Abdulsaid Azizov gave the report “The periodic system in teaching chemistry”, and Professor of Department of Chemistry and Technology of Inorganic Substances of ASOIU,   Dr. of sciences in chemistry Minira Agahuseynova gave the report “The importance of the periodic system in the discovery of new elements”.

Academician-secretary of the Division of Chemical Sciences, academician Vagif Farzaliyev,  vice-rector of Baku State University, corresponding member of ANAS Aydin Kyazym-zade, corresponding member of ANAS Mahammad Babanly, chemistry teacher of Classic Gymnasium №160 Dilshad Karimova, chemistry teacher of Baku Secondary School № 192 Afat Neymetova made speeches on reports.

At the end of the conference excursions to the laboratories were organized for pupils and many interesting experiments were shown to them  in the laboratory “Analytical chemistry”.
