Representatives of scientific community of the country took part in the conference organized in Oguzkhan Engineering and Technology University. It brought together scientists, tutors of the universities and students who are involved in scientific and creative activity.
Structural changes in scientific and educational sphere initiated by the Head
of the State are the foundation for the formation of strong, competitive
industrial segment and intellectual potential of the country.
In this aspect, special attention is paid to the cooperation of academic and
educational sciences, system of training of personnel, adaptation of scientific
institutions to market realities including by gradual reformation of their
organization structure to self-sustained form. It will allow using labour,
financial and material resources more rationally, cooperating with business and
investors more actively, diversifying research, project and engineering and
technological works.
Current changes in the structure of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan
touched the Institute of Livestock Farming and Veterinary, which was assigned
under the authority of Turkmen Agricultural University. It was caused by the
necessity of rapprochement and closer consolidation of the reforms in national
agricultural complex with scientific approach, which has to be initiated at the
training stage of qualified specialists, President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov
notes. It is possible by the involvement of student, future professionals to
scientific and research activity forming up innovative thinking, initiative and
consistency of theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
The Institute of Solar Energy of the Academy of Sciences has to be transferred
to the State Energy Institute, which also study renewable sources of energy,
for the same purpose. Such academic support in rather new but quite promising
specialization will help to make material and technical conditions for modern
scientific studies related to the production of alternative sources of electrical
energy.
Another innovation, which opens entire direction in development of educational
science, is the transfer of the Institute of General and Applied Biology, which
was formed up from the Institute of Biology and Medicinal Plant of the Academy
of Sciences of Turkmenistan (the Institute of Medicinal Plant will enter the
structure of the Ministry of Health Protection and Medical Industry) to the
structure of Oguzkhan Engineering and Technology University.
It was mentioned at the forum that our country has formed up modern scientific
and educational sphere, great opportunities for the youth to master advanced
achievements of science and technologies have been made. Important objectives
in this field are related to the implementation of the Concept of digital
economy of Turkmenistan based on high technologies and fundamental theoretical
knowledge.
Making of market stimulation allowing private sector increasing its input to
the efficiency and international competiveness of the branches of national economy,
its integration to the world division of labour and global trade relations as
well as geological, political and raw material advantages of Turkmenistan and,
undoubtedly, vast intellectual resource of the nation are among key factors of
success in the achievement of large-scale goals. Mobilization of these reserves
will help our country to grow with exceptional rates.
President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov adapts national model of the economy to new
world realities and tendencies for support of high dynamics of the country’s
development at more mature phase of industrialization of Turkmenistan and on
the background of its structural changes.
