Scientific Network for the Caucasus Mountain Region (SNC-mt)

Established in 2014, the Scientific Network for the Caucasus Mountain Region (SNC-mt) is an open network of researchers and other stakeholders interested in disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research on the Caucasus region and academic collaboration. The SNC-mt seeks to improve research capacity for and within this region (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Islamic Republic of Iran, Russian Federation and Türkiye) and to link research to the needs of sustainable development and environmental protection. With their initiative, scientists from the Caucasus and from other countries exploring the Caucasus are following in the tradition of counterparts from mountain regions around the world, where scientific networks have emerged to promote and consolidate knowledge and understanding about a given mountain range and to help confront transitional challenges.
