ASOIU’s “Healwith” project shortlisted for the “QS Reimagine Education Awards 2025”

The “Healwith” innovative project of the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University (ASOIU) has been shortlisted in the “Sustainability Education Action” category of the prestigious “QS Reimagine Education Awards 2025” international competition.

More than 1,600 projects from different countries worldwide were submitted to the competition. Based on the evaluation of an international jury consisting of over 800 experts, “Healwith” has been ranked among the top 20% of successful projects globally. The main goal of the project is to strengthen the resilience of agriculture, improve farmers’ welfare, and contribute to Azerbaijan’s food security. It also represents an important step towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15 – Life on Land (Conservation of terrestrial ecosystems).

“Healwith” is a mobile application designed for farmers and plant growers. By simply taking a photo, users can detect up to 100 common plant diseases at an early stage and receive treatment recommendations. This technology reduces pesticide use, lowers treatment costs from 60 AZN/ha to 15 AZN/ha, and increases productivity.

It should be noted that the “QS Reimagine Education Awards 2025” is organized by the prestigious QS (Quacquarelli Symonds). QS is one of the world’s most recognized higher education ranking agencies, well-known not only for its international university rankings but also for its global initiatives that evaluate innovations in education.
