The development model based on the principles of independence, national-moral values, justice and the rule of law plays an important role in the formation of liberal values in terms of the political and economic modernization of society. Despite facing various external interventions throughout the historical development trajectory, the Azerbaijani people managed to preserve their national identity and restored state independence at the end of the 20th century. In the post-independence stage, the Republic of Azerbaijan chose the path of sustainable economic development based on the principles of a free market economy, against this background, special importance was given to the expansion of fundamental, theoretical-methodological, pedagogical and applied research in various fields of science.

At the same time, consistent measures have been taken to train highly qualified scientific personnel, and functional integration between scientific research institutions and the education and production sectors has been promoted. The expansion of international scientific cooperation has also been an important component of this process.
