The Baku Nobel Heritage Fund hosted a gala Nobel reception on the occasion of this conference, at the Villa Petrolea.

“The impression from the conference is that we are on the right path; we should not only learn the history, but also propagate the rich historical heritage of our ancestors and use their rich experience in our practice. There are Nobel Brothers museum in a number of countries. They work together in Azerbaijan, Russia, Sweden and Kazakhstan to develop mutual relations and learn the history”, said the Chairman of the Nobel Family Society Thomas Tydén in summing up the conference.
