“The attention paid by the President of Uzbekistan to the geological system in recent years has created a great opportunity for professionals working in all sectors of the industry to come up with their scientific developments and startup ideas. Our research institutes, which have been operating for more than seventy years, are now located on the campus of the University of Geological Sciences and carry out activities together with our students and researchers in education, science, and practice. This will create a great basis for training personnel by world standards, the further development of the geology”, says Mr. Maqsud Isakov.
