The relevance of the round table is caused by the strengthening of international contacts in the scientific and cultural sphere, the intensification of interaction between universities and academic research institutes of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Russian Federation. The variety of forms of such contacts requires new means of communication.

During the round table, such issues as joint projects on the preservation of the Russian cultural heritage in the Republic of Uzbekistan, the study of collections of Russian-language literature in libraries and archives of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the introduction of innovative educational programs, assistance to enlightenment, cross-border exchange of educational and scientific literature will be considered.
