Departments
All
basic activities of the Academy are undertaken under the
auspices of its five departments:
Department of Linguistic and Literary Sciences
Department of Social Sciences
Department of
Mathematical and Technical Sciences
Department of Biological and Medical Sciences
Department of
Arts.
The Departments review the situation in the relevant scientific,
scholarly and artistic fields, and give opinions on and make
proposals for the furtherance and the application of contemporary
scientific knowledge and the results of scientific research.
They
discuss proposals for the publication of the artistic achievements
and scientific research of members and other works submitted to the
Academy for publication. They also decide which articles are to be
included in the departmental publications and nominate articles for publication in other journals
issued by the Academy.
The departments initiate and evaluate the
various scientific and scholarly projects undertaken by the Academy.
They put forward proposals for the organisation of scholarly and
scientific conferences and symposia, art exhibitions and other
cultural events, confirm the programmes of work, propose candidates
for full, honorary and foreign membership of the Academy and decide
on the nominations for full membership made by institutions of
higher education as well as by other scientific
and artistic institutes and organisations.
