Research activities of the teaching staff

The symposium in honor of Professor Zina Karaeva combined science, education and art. On October 11, Bishkek hosted the VII ESSA-2025 International Symposium "Semiotics and Semiosis of Life", dedicated to the academic contribution of Professor Zina Karaeva. The event was held in a hybrid format at the site of the IUC (Youth Center, 17A/1 L. Tolstogo St.) and brought together scientists from the humanities and natural sciences for an interdisciplinary dialogue about life as a sign system. The program includes plenary lectures, sections, round tables, semiosis laboratories, a poster session and an exhibition of national artifacts. Following the results of the symposium, the participants outlined further steps: the preparation of a conceptual map of the "semiotic type of life", the formation of an interdisciplinary corpus of texts and the development of joint projects and publications.".
