Programs are initiatives that are administered within ASOF, and partly funded by ASOF's operational budget. They are meant to be smaller scale but strategic, sometimes acting as pilots for larger scale projects in the future. Programs take shape at the level of individual members and are endorsed by a vote of the Executive Board.
The ASOF Quarterly is an electronic periodical for ASOF members to contribute to and to read. Articles should be written in non-technical language accessible to other members of ASOF, in English, and from the perspective of the field of expertise of the author(s). An article should not be longer than 1500 words and should accord to a theme for the issue as determined by the ASOF Quarterly Committee. A wide spectrum of opinions are entertained and encouraged, as long as inflammatory and unprofessional language is avoided.
The Seismic Safety Advising project aims to mobilize experts from within ASOF and beyond to advise Armenian government institutions in areas relating to seismic safety: the development and implementation of modern building codes and the retrofitting of existing structures to protect against seismic events.
This initiative is engaged in assessing the needs of students and faculty from universities in Artsakh and devising programs, in partnership with local stakeholders, to help those in need of help and guidance settling in Armenian institutions of higher learning.
