A delegation led by O‘tkir Xoliqulov, Rector of Almalyk State Technical Institute, paid a visit to Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute.

The main purpose of the visit was to strengthen cooperation between higher education institutions that train highly qualified engineering specialists, advance the integration of education, science, and industry, and implement promising joint projects.

The delegation was welcomed by M. Ochilov, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, and J. Abdunazarov, Vice-Rector for Scientific Affairs and Innovation, of Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute.

The meeting focused on the priority areas of cooperation.

During the discussions, particular attention was given to improving the quality of engineering education, exchanging advanced teaching practices, developing scientific collaboration between academic staff and young researchers, and conducting joint scientific research.

The parties also exchanged views on developing scientifically grounded solutions to pressing technological challenges faced by industrial enterprises, participating jointly in international scientific and technical programmes and grant projects, commercialising scientific developments, and introducing research findings into industrial production.

Both sides emphasised the importance of effectively utilising the scientific and intellectual potential of the two institutions, exchanging experience, and taking cooperation to a new level in training competitive engineering specialists who meet the needs of industry.

A key outcome of the visit was the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation between Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute and Almalyk State Technical Institute.

The memorandum creates new opportunities to expand cooperation in education, scientific research, innovation, and international relations, as well as to implement joint projects and initiatives.

This partnership marks an important step towards improving the quality of engineering education, combining scientific potential, and applying research and development outcomes in industrial production.
