As part of the visit to China by a delegation from Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute, led by Rector Alisher Usmankulov, a series of meetings were held to discuss joint educational programmes, academic exchange, artificial intelligence, and cooperation with industrial enterprises.

First Students of the Joint Educational Programme Begin Their Studies in China

The first participants of the “2+2” joint educational programme established between Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute and Suzhou University of Technology are continuing their studies in China. The leadership of both higher education institutions attended the student admission ceremony.

The programme provides students with opportunities to strengthen their professional knowledge, gain international experience, and familiarise themselves with China’s education system and industrial practices.

Joint Artificial Intelligence Projects Discussed

During a meeting with Chinese partners and investors, the parties discussed the development of the artificial intelligence laboratory being established at the institute, as well as opportunities to introduce advanced technologies and attract foreign investment.

The “Uzbekistan–China Artificial Intelligence Innovation Centre” project was also presented. The participants discussed opportunities for implementing joint projects in education, science and industry. This area of cooperation is aimed at supporting the implementation of the institute’s “Digital University” strategy.
