Uzbekistan has chosen the path of achieving sustainable development through the development of science. Since insufficient attention to scientific research, the lack of support for innovation hinders the development of many areas of the country. From the first days of his activity as head of state, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev pays great attention to supporting science, innovation, encouraging scientists.

The institute has created all the conditions for distance learning: for practical classes - the Moodle System distance learning platform, for listening to lectures, as well as participating in national and international conferences - the ZOOM program.
