The speakers highlighted that the center’s goal is to systematically analyze the dynamics of public relations development in Azerbaijan and identify the current trends in this area. Additionally, the center aims to predict changes and examine the potential impacts of these changes on society. The use of modern information technologies and scientific methods to study public opinion and conduct social research is also an important part of these goals.
