Webinar Description: Microcampuses are University of Arizona International locations on the campus of a partner university where students can have a meaningful in-person experience. A microcampus is a global location but not a particular mode of delivery or a particular type of program. Two main models of collaboration can be built simultaneously at a microcampus location to create a dual degree program(s) and a pathway program(s). Expanding on both models, this presentation will demonstrate how innovation strategy development can lead to meaningful international partnerships among higher education institutions.
Webinar Presenter: Tolga Turker, PhD leads University of Arizona`s programs and outreach initiatives in Europe and Central Asia. Tolga is passionate about designing strategies and creating access for delivering high quality education and his experience in international education spans over ten years both in the US and abroad. His research interests involve innovation strategy development and digitalization in higher education, and currently teaches at UArizona`s International Security Studies (MA) program.
Time: Sep 21, 2022 10:00 AM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)/ 7:00 PM Tashkent time https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIodu2rrz0oG9ayLhLgdZZ3t5hqjyBo1FE1

UniCEN Partnership: A New Course on Global Water-Related Issues
UniCEN Partners Colorado State University (CSU) and Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers (TIIAME) recently successfully launched a joint course. The course was conducted under the framework of a joint UniCEN project between the two universities - “Training a New Genaration of Engineers to Face Global Water Challenges.”
The course received extremely positive feedback from students – many of whom reported learning from one another and significantly expanded perspectives on global water-related issues.
The class was taught virtually through Zoom, and despite significant time differences saw full attendance throughout the semester. Instructors also employed collaborative pedagogical techniques to engage students, including collaborative projects through Google Slides and Jamboard, discussion posts and virtual interaction, and group presentations.

🎯Building Sustainability in STEM through UniCEN Exchanges
🔸“Sharing knowledge occurs when people are genuinely interested in helping one another develop new capacities for action; it is about creating learning processes,” says Akmal Safarov.
👨🏻🏫Akmal is an Associate Professor of the Samarkand State University’s Institute of Engineering Physics (IEP). Through UniCEN project Akmal worked with Professor Michael Short from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on collecting, processing, and analyzing information about radiation, pressure, gravity, and air composition.
🔖Akmal uses his experience, gained during the UniCEN project, to mentor students. One of his students, Nafisa Rahmonova, works on her UniSat project and studies electronics, programming, and 3D modeling under Akmal’s supervision. She uses one of the UniCEN-acquired 3D printers, which is housed in the Nuclear Physics and Astronomy Laboratory of IEP, as a key component of her studies.
