Dissemination
Wider circles of audience need to be exposed to the discourse related to Sustainability and Digitalisation. With its benchmarking experience, plethora of policies and best practices in these filed, the EU represents an important example, giving direction for many countries of the world, including Uzbekistan, especially now when multiple documents are being adopted in the field. That’s why dissemination of knowledge is of great importance and the Centre will be the first academic entity in Uzbekistan with such focus operation with the support of the European commission.
Furthermore, there are multiple Erasmus+ projects implemented in Uzbekistan and the communication between them is essential, as it helps to avoid the common pitfalls, allows to better managing of the challenges and can contribute to the more efficient implementation of activities though joint learning. That’s why special role in organising the activities of the Centre is to be given to the collaboration with other Erasmus + beneficiaries and especially with the participants of Jean Monnet actions
