The National Research University of Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers has been collaborating with non-governmental organizations to study climate change and combat its harmful consequences. In cooperation with non-governmental organizations, the university has been implementing various educational and scientific-practical projects.

Collaborations to improve the ecological situation in the Aral Sea region

The cooperation between the Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers (TIIAME) and the World Aral Region Charity (WARC) (https://www.aralregioncharity.org/) is focused on addressing environmental issues and engaging youth. As part of this partnership, a forum was held in Tashkent to mark the conclusion of the program.
