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.

Catalyzing International Administrative and Research Collaborations in Engineering and Agriculture
Over the past three decades, the internationalization of higher education has become a priority in developing higher education in Uzbekistan and is considered an important tool in ensuring its economic stability. 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 Tennessee-Knoxville (UT) and Namangan Institute of Engineering and Technology (NIET) designed collaborative approaches for research, administration, education, and workforce development.
In an online format, Dr. David Ader of UT-Knoxville’s Smith Center for International Sustainable Agriculture shared cotton research, Dr. Gretchen Neisler, vice provost for international affairs, discussed planning for international research, and Dr. Deborah Crawford, Vice Chancellor of the Office of Research, Innovation and Economic Development, presented best practices for building the research enterprise. Partners discussed ongoing development of international education programs, partnerships and student exchange programs, industry outreach, and collaboration opportunities in agriculture studies. UT-Knoxville created a YouTube playlist of webinars to disseminate the information for the broader academic community.
Faculty from the partnership used the opportunity to present a joint research project: “Skill Development Across the Globe: How Universities and Industries Can Work Together to Help Their Societies Prosper.” For this project, Dr. Reilman from UT-Knoxville utilized survey data from multiple universities in Uzbekistan to understand international workforce development initiatives, and Dr. Umarkhonov of NIET will support his efforts by recruiting survey participants from Uzbekistan.
