About 70 experts from 22 countries participated in an international seminar dedicated to the third mission of universities: "State contribution to socio-economic development in cooperation".

 In this respect, it is remarkable that "Silk Road" International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage was chosen to organize this international seminar. Of course, it is not simply for a reason, because in Uzbekistan, "Silk Road" International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage, in particular, has long been providing students with knowledge in the direction of the higher education system of developed countries. Our nationally accredited university is now aiming for international accreditation. Holding such a prestigious seminar at our university is the first step towards international accreditation.

Organized on 13-14 May, the seminar, attended by experts from foreign and national universities, discussed important issues. At the seminar, Suna Park, Advisor of Minister of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change of the Republic of Uzbekistan, delivered a speech to the participants of the seminar from Rector of "Silk Road" International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage A. Abdukhakimov.

At the international seminar, important reports were read, a number of presentations were made, which were put up for discussion. One of the important statements at the seminar was that universities should be a driver of preparation of scientific approaches, theory, ideas in all spheres of life of society, and for this purpose appropriate recommendations were developed.
