International training and professional development courses are being organized. Under the GSK scholarship program, two master’s students of the university were accepted for a six-month internship at Keimyung College University. Ten textbooks in the fields of Mechatronics and DEISC were jointly published by Korea–Uzbekistan cooperation. Scopus-indexed and other international scientific articles have been co-authored and published. Conferences and forums are being held on a regular basis. Within the Global Students Technical Program, an international event was organized in Samarkand in December of this year, involving 25 students from both our university and Keimyung College University.
