This session laid the groundwork for expanding the scope of planned joint studies in the fields of biology and ecology between the two institutions.
Conclusion and General Assessment
The visit was extremely productive in terms of developing long-term and sustainable academic cooperation between the two universities. The budget support provided by the BDPÜ administration demonstrates that joint studies can be strengthened with concrete research outputs. It is anticipated that comprehensive research on the biological aspects of the Issyk-Kul region and bio-ecological studies will provide significant scientific contributions to both institutions.
Within the scope of planned joint projects, it is expected that several doctoral and master's studies will be conducted together, contributing to the development of academic staff. Furthermore, utilizing the Orkhon Exchange Program and including related communities such as Bashkortostan within the program will further enrich the quality and scope of academic mobility.
