On July 6, the ceremony of awarding certificates to the participants of the project "International approaches and best practices of using data in scientific research" took place. During the first round of courses, more than 70 scientists and postgraduates were trained. This project is aimed at increasing the capacity of more than 200 scientists to prepare research at the international level and publish it, training scientists to use modern data analysis capabilities. Participants will master information technologies for conducting empirical analysis, data visualization, and creating dashboards. The meeting was held with the first participants of the Project in the building of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation.
This training program was launched by the World Bank as part of the Project "Modernization of the National Innovation System of Uzbekistan" (MUNIS). The World Bank supports the innovation policy agenda of the Republic of Uzbekistan by financing the MUNIS Project implemented by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation. In addition, a conference was held on the topic "Innovative methods of increasing human and research potential in the context of the transition to high-tech economic growth" within the framework of the grant "Development of methodology for assessing the innovation and economic potential of regions and sectors of the economy of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as identification of factors affecting it". The most high-quality scientific theses and articles during the implementation of the project will be published in the framework of the monograph “Handbook of Innovation & Economic growth" in the USA.
The plenary session was attended by Diana Abdumuminova, Head of the Department of Forecasting the Development of Science and Scientometry, with a report “Scientometry or the magic of scientific numbers: how to use scientific indicators to advance a scientific career?”, Salakhodzhaev Raufkhon, Director of ERGO Analytics with the topic “Highly innovative virtual education: implications for research”, as well as Sardor Azam, Central Asia University with the report “Presentation of the curriculum Data Science for Researchers”
The event was attended by more than 150 teachers and representatives of universities, the Agency for Innovative Development, the Center for Scientific and Technical Information, scientists and graduate students. Coca Cola and AVIDNOTE presented memorable gifts to the distinguished participants of the project. Nazi Aripdzhanova, Coca-Cola Public Relations and Communications Manager, noted in her message to the participants that the results of many recent studies show that educated women have a greater earning potential. Their participation in the labor market leads to the economic growth of society as a whole. When women realize their professional and labor potential and become economically independent, the poverty level decreases, the economy grows, and, accordingly, the quality of life increases. Women scientists also play a key role in the implementation of the agenda of Uzbekistan's entry into the number of innovative economies of the world by 2030.
The project "International approaches and best practices of using data in scientific research" is implemented by the research company ERGO Analytics. The project manager is one of the leading and internationally recognized scientists of Uzbekistan, PhD Raufkhon Salakhodjaev. Raufkhon Salihodjaev has more than 80 publications in the leading journals Scopus and Web of Science, and has been repeatedly recognized as a highly cited scientist according to the Elsevier world ranking.
ERGO Analytics expresses its gratitude to the management of the Tashkent Financial Institute for providing modern classrooms for conducting trainings and seminars.
