Turkmen Agricultural Institute invites students to international science contest

The Turkmen Agricultural Institute invites students from higher education institutions in Turkmenistan and abroad to take part in the third International Scientific Project Competition "Agroinnovations: Path to Sustainable Development", to be held on 11-12 November. The competition is online and held in two stages. All interested students may take part, regardless of their field of study or year. The official languages are Turkmen, English and Russian.

The competition has three areas: agricultural projects, IT projects and business projects. A paper may be prepared by a single author or by co-authors, with no more than two students. Participants must submit a written description of their research project to the jury and make a presentation. Entries are assessed on six criteria: relevance, novelty, substance, scale, feasibility and environmental impact. Winners will receive diplomas of first, second and third degree from the institute.

Applications, including information about the applicant in the form available on the institute's website, must be sent by email to tohi.tm.info@gmail.com by 5 November. The organisers say the competition aims to develop students' scientific thinking, research skills and creativity, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
