The Student Scientific Society at Nakhchivan State University was established in 1969, when this university was operating as the Nakhchivan branch of the Azerbaijan State Pedagogical Institute. In those years, the number of members of the society, which included only 25 research students, increased year by year. At present, young people who are interested in student creativity in the ranks of the University Student Scientific Society are taking their first steps in the field of scientific and research work. Currently, the structure of the Student Scientific Society consists of 100 undergraduate and graduate students.
