On April 30-May 2, an NU delegation visited leading universities and schools in Uzbekistan to strengthen ties and build bridges of cooperation between the two countries. Over the three days, the delegation met with representatives of the Kazakh Embassy in Uzbekistan, the Ministry of Higher Education and Innovation of Uzbekistan, and the management of educational institutions, including the National University of Uzbekistan, University of World Economy and Diplomacy, Tashkent Medical Academy, New Uzbekistan University, OXUS University, and others.

As part of the agreements, NU and Koç University will engage in student and staff exchange programs, facilitating the exchange of scientific, educational, and scholarly materials. Both universities have agreed to an annual exchange of two students from each institution, offering distinctive opportunities for students to immerse themselves in a different culture and academic environment, to engage in a world of intellectual exploration, creating a brighter and more interconnected future.

NU has joined a research consortium named “ValEUs” which aim is to better understand the foreign policy of the European Union and the EU’s future role in global governance. ValEUs, the Research and Education Network on Contestations to EU Foreign Policy, led by the Europa University Viadrina, brings together 18 higher education institutions in 17 countries across five continents.

Under the framework of the newly established Agreement, both institutions agreed to provide student exchange and research internship opportunities in the fields of engineering and mining. The first step in this promising collaboration between NU and the UL was taken in July 2023 when two universities signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
