Central Asia Education  Forum

Central Asia historically has been a center of culture, science, and education, connecting East and West at the heart of the Ancient Silk Road. It is a unique region, and homeland to many outstanding scholars such as Al-Khwarizmi, Abu Rayhan Biruni, Ibn Sina, and Mirzo Ulugh Beg, who have made significant contributions to world science.

Today, more than 30 million young people are building their futures in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan in an era of globalization marked by unprecedented technological advances and unique challenges. Finding comprehensive solutions to these challenges requires interdisciplinary scientific collaboration and collective efforts at both the regional and global levels.

By the initiative of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan H.E. Shavkat Mirziyoyev, we are hosting the First Central Asia Education Forum (CAEF) - an important step forward and recognition of the importance of integrating our national education systems with the international academic and industrial community.

The forum will bring together over 1,500 experts, including education ministers from 30 countries, as well as representatives from academia, industry, and the public sector from all around the world.

As part of CAEF, New Uzbekistan University, in collaboration with Times Higher Education, will host the Central Asian University Forum 2024. This event will become a real platform for dialogue between university leaders and decision makers from around the world.

The first Central Asian Education Forum is a space for cooperation between those who are ready for joint development. We will build a common future and pave the way for new discoveries and achievements.
