Foundation for Armenian Science and Technology
The Foundation for Armenian Science and Technology (FAST) is a not-for-profit organization whose focus is to harness scientific, technological, and financial resources within national and international communities to advance Armenia as a nation with a thriving ecosystem in STEM-related sector.[1]
FAST was co-founded by Ruben Vardanyan and Noubar Afeyan on behalf of the IDeA Foundation, Fr. Mesrop Aramian on behalf of the Ayb Educational Foundation, and high-tech and innovations entrepreneur Artur Alaverdyan. Armen Orujyan, founder of Athgo, was announced as the Chief Executive Director of FAST in April 2017.[2] [3] [4]
Initiatives[edit]
In October 2017, FAST held a joint workshop with the National Science Foundation, “NSF-FAST Workshop: Machine Learning for Discovery Sciences”, to bring together researchers and scientists to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and facilitate discovery science in various fields.[5] [6] [7] Over 30 Armenian and international participants presented their machine learning research, including esteemed American researcher Jerry Hobbs.
