Ecological challenges faced by cities in mountainous regions is the
topic of a two-day international youth conference that started in
Yerevan on May 29.
More than 100 young academics from 32 research and education
institutions of Armenia, Belarus, Germany, Israel, Kazakhstan, Norway,
Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan gathered to discuss environmental
instability of mountainous regions, to share experiences, and
to join forces in finding common comprehensive solutions. The 47
reports to be presented at the conference address problems, such as
the geochemistry of the environment in cities, the geomorphology of
cities and landscape planning, and geoinformation technologies used
in researching ecosystems in cities.
"Fostering networking and partnership among scientific and research
institutions and young academicians is part of what the OSCE is
about. This is especially important for confronting the rising threats
and challenges of modern times, one of which is ecological security,"
said Ambassador Vladimir Pryakhin, Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan.
"Young academics' contribution to the development of science is
vital. This conference proves once again that science does not
recognize borders and that there is a unified scientific space, in
which scientists can exchange information about their achievements,"
added Emil Gabrielyan, Vice President of the Armenian National Academy
of Sciences.
The event is organized by the Centre for Ecological-Noospheric Research
of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences, with support from the
OSCE Office in Yerevan and the Moscow UNESCO Office.
