Discussions will be held in the panel meetings titled "Historical Geography. Population and Social Life", "Caucasian Albania in Pre-Christian and Christian Periods", "Caucasian Albania: Geographical Parallels, Economic and Cultural Life", and "Caucasian Albania: Temples and Monuments" in the conference covering the topics of pre-Christian religions, Christianity, Islamic civilization, and characteristics of social life in Caucasian Albania. Research scientists and experts representing Turkey, South Korea, Russia, Italy, Germany, Georgia, Great Britain, Norway, and Lithuania will present reports on various issues of Albanian history in panel sessions. The languages of the conference held in a hybrid format are Azerbaijani, English and Russian.
Let’s note that, Azerbaijan plays the role of the core research center in the world for the systematic study of the historical and ethno-cultural heritage of Caucasian Albania. Caucasian Albania has occupied an important place in the life of the region for nearly a thousand years, leaving behind a significant historical heritage. As a result of the comprehensive study of this heritage, the scientific field of Albanian studies was created and is still developing today.
The Republic of Azerbaijan is the direct historical heir and custodian of the rich Albanian ethno-cultural heritage, the ancient and early medieval culture of Caucasian Albania, and the entire historical and religious heritage created by the ethnic groups that lived in this area in later centuries. The study of important problems of Albanian studies in the fields of history, archaeology, anthropology, ethnology, linguistics, architecture and art, and the preservation and protection of Albanian ethno-cultural heritage are one of the important directions of our country's multiculturalism policy. 
"Learning Caucasian Albania" project of Baku International Multiculturalism Center has been implemented since the first days of the center's activity. The focus of attention is on the research of local and foreign scholars on the material and cultural heritage, history, geography, and population of Caucasian Albania, which dates back to the ancient and early medieval periods of Azerbaijani history within frameüorj of project. International conferences, presentations, and roundtables are regularly organized to bring research to a wide audience.
