As the rapid growth of cities continues to place pressure on natural resources, infrastructure, and social systems, the need for sustainable and resilient urban planning has become increasingly urgent. This challenge is especially visible in densely populated regions such as the Kur–Araz plain, where environmental degradation, the expansion of built-up areas, and unequal access to services are becoming more pronounced. Responding to these dynamics, researchers and students of the Faculty of Ecology and Soil Science at Baku State University have embarked on an ambitious initiative that integrates satellite analytics with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to support scientifically grounded urban development strategies.

Climate change has become one of the defining global challenges of the 21st century—shaping not only scientific discourse but also the future of education systems worldwide. Integrating real-time observation and hands-on application into academic programmes has become essential to ensure that students complement theoretical knowledge with practical skills aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Baku State University (BSU) is pioneering this approach in the region, transforming its Geography Faculty into a hub of continuous climate monitoring and experiential learning.

As the host nation of COP29, Azerbaijan is placing sustainability, green growth, and ecological innovation at the heart of its national agenda. In alignment with this vision, Baku State University (BSU) has launched “Eko Məkan” (“Eco Space”), an innovative sustainability hub designed to educate, experiment, and inspire climate-conscious action among students, researchers, and the wider community.

As electric mobility accelerates worldwide, the environmental burden of the electricity behind the charge remains a critical – and often overlooked – challenge. Researchers at Baku State University (BSU) have developed a solution that directly targets this problem: “Clean-Charge”, a 22 kWh AC charging station powered entirely by on-site solar and wind energy, eliminating indirect carbon emissions from electric vehicle (EV) use on campus.

In the face of increasing water scarcity and growing demands for sustainable agriculture, innovative solutions are essential. Irrigo, a next-generation agricultural ecosystem developed by a research team at Baku State University, represents a breakthrough in smart, resource-efficient farming.

At the Industrial Chemistry Research Laboratory (ICRL), ICESCO Chair of Biomedical Materials and Laboratory of Microbiology at Baku State University, researchers are redefining the frontier between nanoscience and microbiology.

In an era when global agriculture faces unprecedented challenges — from droughts and soil salinization to widespread land degradation — only a handful of research teams succeed in combining molecular precision with practical agricultural innovation as effectively as the scientists at Baku State University (BSU).
