ARCS-ai also aims to raise the profile of the sciences and research in Armenian society through public outreach.

ArCH: Armenian Cultural Heritage is dedicated to the sustainable cultural development and protection of the cultural legacy of Armenians, both within Armenia and globally. In promoting knowledge, ArCH aims to unite and enhance the efforts of all stakeholders, as a crucial strategy for the conservation and promotion of Armenia's endangered cultural treasures and contemporary artistic endeavors – while highlighting the importance of awareness and academic collaboration in the face of global challenges.

The group, led by Maria Baghramian, is engaged in developing the Center for Ethics in Public Affairs at the American University of Armenia within the Turpanjian division.

The Center for Ethics in Public Affairs seeks to become a national hub for addressing ethical issues in the public sphere. The EU-funded ETICA project will strengthen research and training in ethics in the public domain by building a team of researchers and a network of international collaborators under the leadership of the ERA Chair Professor Maria Baghramian. The Center will contribute to international research on the theme of trust and hope in a time of crises, establish long-term resources for research and training in applied ethics and engage the public in critical ethical discussions. Additionally, it will support reforms in research management and funding application processes.
