YPIP Alumni Accelerator

Tashkent, Uzbekistan
🛎On January 7-8, 2022, American Councils Uzbekistan within the framework of the Young Professional Internships Program (YPIP) organized a two-day Alumni Accelerator in Tashkent to strengthen relationships among YPIP alumni to promote a spirit of cooperation.
🔹Eileen Brewer and Elena Selezneva, both leaders in innovation ecosystems, facilitated idea generation sessions in entrepreneurship, leadership, and community engagement. During the conference, trainers introduced the Lean Canvas as a tool to support alumni develop projects addressing community needs, while also developing their leadership skills and learning more about the U.S. approach to development at the community level with a focus on promoting mutual understanding.
💭The trainers organized a pitch contest where teams presented their business plans to a group of prominent investors and entrepreneurs.
The following project ideas were selected:
🥇 First Place : Go Green (The team offered a system that takes the garbage from households and a factory recycles into raw material. By doing this, they can recycle nearly 50% of daily waste and produce cheaper products)
Team members: Ozodbek Kuliev, Nodir Murodilloev, Asad Shodiev, Azizakhon Ortikkhujaeva
🥈 Second Place : Lawables (The aim was to increase interest and awareness regarding country law system, government activities, learning rights, and to provide dedicated platform that consists of first-hand and authentic information in a user friendly format, that can present win-win concept for both users and those who fill the content)
Team members: Nigora Jabbarova, Raykhona Arzikulova, Sarvarbek Khusainov, Khilolakhon Kayumova
🥉Third Place : Eco Leaders (This project focused on sorting out trash/garbage (3in1) that can be used in the household. People have to sort out their trash into paper, glasses, plastic and get cashback for filtering it out. It helps to reduce air pollution. Collected plastic, paper, glasses then are sent for recycling.)
Team members: Amira Askarova, Bakhora Omonbaeva, Olimakhon Shovazova, Abdukhoshim Bakirov
🎉✨Congratulations! Well-done!

Advancing Human Genomics and Bioinformatics
Deeper understanding of the relationship between human genetic variation and population differences in disease distribution is a key step in informing health disparities around the world. Through the Central Asia University Partnerships Program (UniCEN), administered by American Councils for International Education and funded by the U.S. State Department through the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, University of California-Davis and National University of Uzbekistan are advancing research and student mobility in human genomics and bioinformatics.
Through initial online discussion on research findings and future research perspectives, UC-Davis delivered genomics research tools and databases for 30 students at National University of Uzbekistan. As a result, students improved their knowledge of databases, methodologies, and how to write a scientific article.
In December 2021, UC-Davis and National University of Uzbekistan organized the 1st Central Asia Genomics Symposium as an online platform for collaboration in the context of science diplomacy of the 21st century. 25 distinguished researchers from the U.S., Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, the European Union and other countries shared new approaches and research using genomic tools. The symposium raised the profile of Uzbekistan as an emerging area for the use of genomic and bioinformatic tools in research on different disciplines, ranging from human disease, microbiology, ecology, plant genetics, diagnostics, among others.

Enhancing STEM Research and Curriculum in Uzbekistan
The government of Uzbekistan has placed the development of science, technology, and innovation in the country as a top policy priority. Through the Central Asia University Partnerships Program (UniCEN), administered by American Councils for International Education and funded by the U.S. State Department through the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, Washington State University (WSU) and Urgench State University are collaborating to enhance instructor preparation and training and to support English language teaching in STEM in Uzbekistan.
In the first phase of the project, Dr. Sergey Lapin of WSU conducted webinars for math faculty and administrators at Urgench State University, highlighting respective approaches to teaching math and statistics, and introducing the array of STEM disciplines offered at WSU. The partners developed the idea of creating a multidisciplinary course, Mathematics through Applications, where calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and statistics are taught using real-world applications in various sciences.
In September 2021, Dr. Lapin met with Urgench State University administrators and faculty to design new research collaborations. In presentations, Dr. Lapin spoke about the U.S. student assessment system, educational processes, modern teaching methods and innovative technologies in education implemented by Washington State University. The also partners continued work on the development of the mathematics interdisciplinary course and classes for math students with emphasis on teaching in English.
Looking to sustain the partnership, areas of future collaboration include the organizing summer camps for students, establishing Ph.D. programs, assisting Urgench State in its quest to increase its international rankings, and internships.
