Furthermore, TIIAME NRU student Behzod Ergashev and master’s students Nodira Baxriddinova and Xumora Jalilova presented the latest achievements and developments from their ongoing scientific research activities.
As part of the conference, an exhibition of scientific and innovative projects developed within student research clubs operating under the university’s departments was also organized, showcasing a wide range of creative and practical solutions.
Interest in the conference exceeded expectations this year. More than 250 scientific papers and abstracts were submitted by young researchers and talented students. The conference conducted its work through 10 specialized thematic sections, each addressing some of the most pressing issues facing agriculture and water management.
To further enhance the academic impact of the conference and strengthen integration with the international scientific community, plans have been made to include the conference proceedings in Google Scholar and other reputable international indexing databases.
The innovative scientific and practical recommendations and research papers presented at the conference are expected to serve as an important foundation for addressing current environmental and technological challenges in Uzbekistan’s agriculture and water management sectors. Through the active participation of young scholars and the exchange of advanced knowledge, the conference continues to contribute to scientific progress and sustainable development in these strategically important fields.
