On December 28, 2021, at the International University of Tourism and Cultural Heritage "Silk Road", a methodological seminar was organized on the grant programs of the European Union in the field of education - Erasmus+. The seminar was attended by university researchers as well as representatives of other universities.
The Erasmus+ program, recognized as the most successful and long-term program of the European Union, aims to support projects, partnerships, events and mobility in the fields of education, training, sports and youth support.
Objectives of the event are:
• inform about the new competition for 2022 under the Erasmus + program for 2021-2027 and the conditions for participation in all areas available to the higher educational community of Uzbekistan, about the current activities of Erasmus+ projects in Uzbekistan and about the program's contribution to the modernization of higher education
• to provide methodological assistance in the development of projects to new universities that have not previously participated in the Tempus or Erasmus + programs.

During the seminar, it was decided to apply for the Erasmus + grant programs on behalf of the university.

Numerous scientific works and museum exhibitions convince us that almost everything is known about human history and that historians have an answer to almost every question. However, if we look more closely into the distant past, we find many contradictions and inconsistencies. Why, for example, did medieval painters depict ancient characters as their contemporaries, wearing clothes that corresponded to the artist's time of life?
How could ancient warriors strike their enemies with bronze swords if bronze is a brittle material and it is difficult to obtain a good cutting blade from bronze?
And why were steel weapons found in the excavations of the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, if ancient Egypt did not know metal? Or did it? And how, after all, to explain the steel chisel that was found in the pyramid of Khufu, built 2,900 years BC?

For history buffs, we invite you to our library. You can find answers to all your questions.
Our rector A.A. Abdukakhimov provided the books. Thank you for the opportunity!
