Today, at  Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers" National Research University, the international scientific and practical conference “Water Security and Climate Change – 2025” has begun its work with the participation of scientists, researchers, and professionals from nearly 40 countries around the world.

This conference is organized within the framework of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) program “Excellence in Higher Education for Sustainable Development (EXCEED)”. Since 2016, it has been successfully held in countries such as Thailand, Germany, Kenya, Mexico, Vietnam, and Ecuador, becoming a global platform for innovative ideas and practical solutions worldwide.

This year’s conference focuses on three main themes:

  • Adaptation to climate-related extreme events,

  • Water for food and ecosystems, and

  • The use of artificial intelligence and big data.

The event brings together leading representatives from science, higher education, and industry to share the results of their research and innovations.

Water security and climate change are among the most pressing global challenges today. Against the backdrop of the Aral Sea disaster and transboundary water issues in the region, this conference aims to take a step toward developing a new and sustainable water policy.

Now in its ninth edition, the conference serves as an important international platform connecting experts from around the world.

Our goal is to support the implementation of efficient water-use technologies in countries suffering from climate change and water scarcity.

Water security and climate change are closely interconnected issues. This international scientific-practical conference is significant because it provides an opportunity for joint, global collaboration in seeking solutions to these interrelated problems. It is crucial to unite the efforts of scientists, activists, and practitioners involved in water resource management.

As climate-related extreme events continue to increase globally, and the risk of groundwater and surface water pollution rises, there is an urgent need to rethink approaches to water management.

The conference continues its work through several specialized sessions.
