Foundation laid for AI and advanced technology campus in Andijan

A foundation was laid for a new technology campus focused on artificial intelligence and advanced technologies in Oltinkoʻl district of Uzbekistan's Andijan region. During the opening ceremony, the campus's first presentation classrooms were shown to the public, and professors from European universities delivered the first lectures for new educational programmes.

The campus plans to operate in eight priority areas: robotics and microchip technologies; agrotechnology and smart agriculture; biotechnology and medical AI; fintech and the digital economy; cybersecurity; AI-based film art; immersive technologies; and logistics innovation. The main goal of the project is to turn Andijan into one of the major scientific, technological and innovation centres in Central Asia.

Education at the campus will start at age seven and run as a unified system spanning school, higher education, scientific research and startup stages. The project's idea, overall concept, academic structure and architectural design were developed by Prof. Dr. N. Selin Şenocak. Long-term academic and scientific cooperation with leading European technical universities is also planned.
