The goal of this partnership is to provide mutual support in educational projects in Uzbekistan and Japan. This is the first memorandum that the Fund Forum has signed with one of the world’s foremost universities. The last four Nobel Prize winners are graduates of this university.

With the signing of the memorandum with Nagoya University, the Fund Forum will also provide assistance in ramping up cooperation and mutual exchange in education between Uzbekistan and Japan.

It is noteworthy that Uzbekistan is one of the seven countries chosen by the Japanese government where representative offices of Japanese schools will be opened, students will be recruited, educational projects, presentations, exhibitions and scientific conferences will be held. Nagoya University Office representing 13 Japanese universities will be opened in Tashkent on 11 March and, along with the Representative Office in Moscow will cover the entire CIS region.

The opening of Nagoya University Regional Office is seen as a result of fruitful cooperation between Uzbekistan and Japan in the area of education. Under the programme there are plans afoot to send about 20 students to Japan annually on a grant basis.
