'no more brain drain'
To promote the integration of young scientists into well established scientific institutions.
To promote the integration of the Armenian scientific enterprise into the international scientific community.
To support the development of Armenian scientific potential, and thereby to contribute to the economic
development of Armenia.

through an international peer-review process.
