Scientist Shant Shahbazyan, who relocated from Tehran to Armenia, has established a new research group at the A. I. Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory (AANL) within the framework of the state grant program "Integration of Scientists from Abroad into the Scientific Community of the Republic of Armenia."
In the interview, he discusses his decision to move to Armenia, the opportunities being created for scientific research, the involvement of young people in science, and the professional journey of a scientist.
According to him, success in science is not measured solely by personal achievements. Training new specialists and nurturing a new generation of researchers who will continue scientific work are equally important contributions.
