On November 27, an information session was held at Sumgayit State University (SSU) regarding the grant competition themed “Digital,” organized by the Azerbaijan Youth Foundation. The event began with the playing of the National Anthem of the Republic of Azerbaijan, followed by a moment of silence to honor the memory of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the territorial integrity of our country. Next, Banovsha Gasimova, a representative of the Azerbaijan Youth Foundation, provided an in-depth overview of the foundation’s activities and its various projects. She also delivered a comprehensive presentation on the “Digital” grant competition.
