In the afternoon, the guests toured the “Next Generation Hub.” The “Next Generation Hub” serves as a laboratory base combining education, science, and practical experience in artificial intelligence, robotics, and information technologies.

Fifteen instructors from the Institute of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, and Information Technologies underwent training conducted by specialists from China. Two engineers came from HUIBO company, located in Suzhou, while the other three are instructors from Jiamusi Technical Institute.

The training took place from October 27 to November 8 at Osh State University’s “Next Generation Hub.” At the end of the course, the institute’s instructors completed training in programming and robotics and received an international certificate.

Now they are able to teach students of the Mechatronics and Robotics program as well as conduct lessons in specialized robotics courses. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to work at factories and plants where HUIBO robots are installed.

On February 3, Osh State University inaugurated the “Central Asia Satellite Analysis and Remote Sensing Center.” The ceremony was attended by the university’s faculty headed by Rector Kudaiberdy Kozhobekov, as well as scientists from abroad and other regions of the country.

This facility is being opened for the first time in Kyrgyzstan as a satellite center. It is located within the university’s “Next Generation Hub.” The center collects data using satellites and conducts scientific research. It is currently equipped with modern specialized equipment. The center provides opportunities to work on international projects and attract investments. It also offers conditions for conducting scientific research.

The center is being established to train specialists in this field in Kyrgyzstan in the future. “Through this center, researchers, scientists, and PhD students conduct studies ranging from ordinary terrain to high mountainous areas. Working with the data database is essential for these studies. Using the center, scientists will be able to utilize satellite-derived data to conduct scientific research on climate change,” said Kudaiberdy Kozhobekov. Within the project, permission has been granted to access several international databases. Currently, cooperation is ongoing with more than 25 well-known satellite agencies from the USA, Japan, China, Korea, and European countries. The center also carries out scientific activities together with global centers.

Today, September 6, Leslie Wigert, the U.S. Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, visited Osh State University. She toured the university′s "Central Asia Satellite Analysis and Remote Sensing" center. The event was attended by university leadership, including Rector Kudaiberdy Kozhobekov, scientists, and research staff.

Professor Islamidin Tashpolotov delivered a presentation on the "Technology for Extracting Critical Elements from Industrial Waste." The discussion focused on ways to leverage the scientific capabilities of the center. Meanwhile, Professor Erkin Mirmakhmudov provided scientific insights on "Using Data for Geodesy and Digital Terrain Modeling in the Fergana Valley Region."

The meeting aimed to strengthen U.S.–Kyrgyzstan scientific and technical cooperation, jointly study pressing issues in Central Asia, and implement future projects. At the end of the visit, the ambassador thanked the university leadership, noting that such scientific centers make a significant contribution to digital development in the Central Asian region, and that American companies are interested in participating in joint projects.
