Today, an event dedicated to the “World Day for Decent Work, marked on October 7, was held at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnologies of the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Opening the event, the Executive Director of the Institute, PhD in Biology, Associate Professor Alamdar Mammadov, emphasized that this day is based on the principle of ensuring the right of every individual to decent work. He spoke about the measures taken at the Institute to improve working conditions for employees, equip laboratories with necessary instruments, and ensure safety.

Together with the International Labour Organization, the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Population and the National Confederation of Entrepreneurs have developed and implemented two country programs on decent work. Work on the new third country program is ongoing. At the event, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Professor Saftar Suleymanov, Doctor of Biological Sciences Hasan Babayev, PhD in Biology, Associate Professor Mahira Mammadova, and the Head of the Institute’s Civil Defense Headquarters Mikayil Pashayev delivered speeches.
