On May 20th of this year, the “Youth Academy Forum” took place at the National University of Uzbekistan. The event was designed to inspire and support young people in the fields of science, innovation, and entrepreneurship, fostering their new ideas and enhancing their knowledge through a series of seminars, training sessions, and competitions.

The event was opened by Yoqub Ergashov, the Vice-Rector for Scientific Work and Innovations at the university. In his speech, he emphasized that the university administration is fully committed to supporting the scientific efforts, new initiatives, and innovative projects of young people. He also wished the participants success, highlighting that events like this provide an excellent platform for active students to exchange knowledge, foster the development of new ideas, and apply scientific work to practical use.

During the forum, skilled speakers conducted seminar-training sessions. These workshops provided information on modern technologies used in scientific work and encouraged innovative thinking. In addition, successful and talented students shared their experiences, offering practical advice to the seminar participants. The sessions also highlighted ways for young people to attract investments to implement their scientific developments in practice.

Two important competitions were held within the forum. The first was the “Ideaton” competition, where participants presented their innovative ideas or scientific projects. The second competition, titled “First Step into Women’s Business,” aimed to support women in business and assist them in starting their ventures in the field of entrepreneurship.

At the conclusion of the forum, a ceremony was held to award the winners of the “Ideaton” and “First Step into Women’s Business” competitions.

The overall significance of the event lies in its role as an important platform for engaging young people in science, innovation, and entrepreneurship, helping them bring their ideas to life and create new opportunities. The forum not only contributed to enhancing the scientific and practical knowledge of young people, but also played a key role in encouraging their social activism.
