    On April 27, members of the government delegation of the Federal State of Thuringia of Germany visited the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation. Minister Ibrahim Abdurakhmanov received a delegation led by Thuringian Secretary of State for Economics, Higher Education and Digitalization Carsten Filler.

    The parties discussed issues of raising the professional education system to a new level, organizing summer schools for students and youth in certain areas, developing a startup ecosystem, holding a competition for joint research projects for scientists, organizing internships for young scientists in leading German research centers and universities in cooperation with the German government and large companies.

    During the conversation, it was noted that there is a high demand for young specialists in Germany.

    - Youth exchange is important not only for the youth themselves, but also for public policy, - said Karsten Filler. - Strengthening cooperation between our countries is in the hands of the future generation. In turn, qualified specialists have been working in Germany for several years. I think that gaining experience and bringing this experience to Uzbekistan will have a positive impact on the economy of the republic.

    Minister I. Abdurakhmanov noted that Uzbekistan has scientific schools, universities, technical institutes and colleges in various fields and that it is important to introduce international cooperation, especially Germany's achievements in the field of education.

    The parties noted the need to ensure the participation of scientists, startups, innovative enterprises, inventors and innovators of the two countries in major international innovation and scientific events held in the two countries. In particular, the German guests invited representatives of our country to take part in the Day of Innovators in Thuringia in June. The German side was also invited to participate in the week of innovative ideas InnoWeek.uz-2023 2023, which is traditionally held every year in Uzbekistan.
