The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Rome, together with the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Special Education of Uzbekistan and the National Office of the European Union’s Erasmus + program in Tashkent, held negotiations to establish cooperation with one of the leading academic centers of Italy – the University of Pisa.
According to Uzbekistan MFA, during the visit of Ambassador Otabek Akbarov to the University of Pisa, meetings were held with its Rector Paolo Mancarella, Vice Rectors Francesco Marcelloni and Marco Abate, representatives of the departments on Geosciences, Energy, Systems, Territory, and Construction Engineering.
Rector of the University of Pisa, Professor Paolo Mancarella, expressed his readiness to establish long-term cooperation with Uzbekistan in education and research, which, he said, would create the institutional basis for expanding international academic opportunities for students of both countries and their professional development with the involvement of relevant government and business circles.
In this regard, the Rector noted the possibility of establishing a branch of the University of Pisa in Tashkent, which would create an excellent platform for enhancing educational and scientific relations between the two countries. In his opinion, this campus will become the first university department created outside of Italy, and in the future can become a model for use in other countries.
