As the first-ever EU-Central Asia Summit approaches on 3-4 April 2025 in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, we are pleased to see a growing emphasis on cooperation, knowledge exchange, and mutual learning between our regions. Education, research, and innovation play a crucial role in fostering sustainable development and stronger partnerships.
The President Ursula von der Leyen of the European Commission mentioned: «We are heading to Samarkand to take our partnership with Central Asia to the next level. In these uncertain times, Europe stands for openness and engagement. For Europe, Central Asia is a partner of choice. At the Summit, we will deepen trade ties and expand cooperation in transport, critical raw materials, digital connectivity, water, and energy. All of this will be backed by a new Global Gateway investment package, turning our commitment into action.»
In this context, we are proud that the Jean Monnet Module #EICCA project, http://jm.iet.tj/ developed and led by our team, is among the first initiatives in Tajikistan aimed at enhancing collaboration with the EU by learning from European expertise and integrating best practices into our local academic and professional landscape.
By focusing on European integration studies, we aim to contribute to a deeper understanding of institutional frameworks, governance models, and economic cooperation, which are becoming increasingly relevant for our region.
We look forward to engaging with partners, experts, and policymakers to explore new opportunities for education, research, and dialogue between Central Asia and the EU.
