On December 8, Sumgayit State University and Institute of Management Systems jointly organized the III International scientific conference on "Information systems and technologies: achievements and perspectives" in the online format.

In addition to Azerbaijani universities, engineering scientists from leading universities of Turkey, Russia, Bulgaria and other countries also participated in the conference.

Prof., vice-rector for Science and innovations of SSU Ramazan Mammadov opened the conference, wished success to the work of the conference, conveyed the greetings of the rector, professor Elkhan Huseynov to the participants and spoke about the importance of the international conference dedicated to the current topic for the modern era. Prof. Ramazan Mammadov gave information about activities of SSU, international program, projects and recent achievements of ICT, noted that this is the third conference. The first conference was held in 2018, the second conference was held in 2020. Considering the urgency of the topic, it was decided to hold the conference every two years. Because information systems and technologies is a rapidly developing field, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view, and there is certainly a need for scientists to exchange ideas about the achievements and future tasks in this field after the last conference. It is very important to hold such a conference in the age of information systems and technologies (ICT). Information technologies are an important part of the process of using information resources of society. Currently, the development of any country is highly dependent on the level of development of information and communication technologies (ICT). In particular, the role of ICT in the implementation of socio-economic policy is rapidly increasing.

The normative legal basis of education has been improved, extensive measures are being implemented in educational institutions based on the Decrees of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the direction of material and technical support. Today, the use of advanced training-technological complexes, especially the advantages of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the training process is an important factor in improving the quality of education. Considering this point of view, increasing the effectiveness of electronic learning systems has a positive effect on improving the quality of education.

Corresponding member of ANAS, executive director of the Institute of Management Systems Aminagha Sadigov spoke about the importance of the conference and said that the purpose of the conference is to discuss the scientific achievements of scientists and specialists in the field of development traditions and perspectives of modern information and communication technologies (ICT).The development and comprehensive application of ICT to form a new economy based on knowledge and high technologies has become one of the main directions of the economic policy of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The achievements of ICT are applied in the fields of management, education, health, business, tourism and banking, enabling every member of the society to benefit from the available opportunities. This is a bright example of the state"s constant attention to the relevant field in Azerbaijan.
