The two-day 5th Baku International Humanitarian Forum continues with round tables on September 30.
The forum features six round tables including “Different Models of Multiculturalism: from Theory to Humanitarian Practice”, “The Importance of Preserving the Human Capital in Conditions of Mass Migration as a Basis for Sustainable Development”, “Transforming of Journalism for the Information Age and its Role in Ensuring Inter-Civilizational Dialogue”, “Sustainable Development and Ecological Civilization”, “Molecular Biology, Biophysics, Biotechnology and Issues of Personnel Training in Modern Medicine: Innovative and Ethical Problems” and “Converging Technologies and Predictions for the Future: the Main Challenges of the 21st Century”.
“Transforming of Journalism for the Information Age and its Role in Ensuring Inter-Civilizational Dialogue” round table has kicked off as part of the 5th Baku International Humanitarian Forum.
Organized by Azertac state news agency, the round table focuses on the formation of alternative models of journalism in the information society, the role of modern journalism in ensuring intercultural, inter-faith and inter-civilizational dialogue, and the significance of virtual journalism and the role of social networks in the context of the challenges of modern society.
In his opening remarks, Azertac Director General Aslan Aslanov said that the capital of Azerbaijan has hosted this Forum since 2011 and aims to build an authoritative international platform for world scientists and culture figures as well as acclaimed experts to discuss pressing global humanitarian challenges.
“In these two days, the capital of Azerbaijan traditionally turns into an "intellectual Davos" as it brings together many Nobel Prize winners, politicians and scientists,” he added.
The Baku International Humanitarian Forum is an annual platform for famous representatives of political, scientific and cultural elite of the world community including famous statesmen, Nobel Prize winners in various fields of science and leaders of influential international organizations for holding dialogues, discussions and exchange of views on a wide range of global issues in the interest of all humanity.
