On November 18-20 our university was receiving the delegation from the Urgench State University (Uzbekistan) consisting of the University rector – Bakhrom Abdullaev, and the vice-rector for international affairs – Gairat Urazboev.

On the first day the guests visited some of the UdSU institutes including the Institute of Natural Sciences, Udmurt Philology, Languages and Literature etc. They also had a tour of the library and got to know main facts about the UdSU history there.
Another stop on the delegation’s route was the Center of Scientific Collaboration (ДНК) where they were shown the equipment, met the center’s teaching staff, and attended the class for 8th-graders “Digital Systems Management”. Besides, the representatives of the Urgench State University discussed the long-term cooperation perspectives such as arranging joint trainings and hackathons, online and onsite workshops.
