The Ministry of Innovative Development makes selection and implements financing of projects under the state programs for scientific activities, as well as it forms state orders for scientific projects, maintains a state register of the projects, and monitors their implementation. To date, the Ministry of Innovative Development has fully implemented the mechanism of state order for research, based on the best world practices. Tenders for state orders for thematic projects with a clear description of end product and amounts of funding are regularly announced, having been introduced as a new procedure. Topics of competitions are announced as a state order aimed at seeking a scientific solution to burning economic and social problems. Financial scope of the state order for each published topic is determined well ahead; whereas at least two projects have to be submitted in order to take part in the competition. The created competitive environment enables receiving grants duly. At present, funding for one project has increased by 3.5 times, and at least 40% of the funds are intended for procurement of required equipment, reagents and materials.
For examination of scientific projects, new Scientific and Technical Councils (STC) of 450 qualified scientists and specialists in 18 disciplines, have been formed under the Ministry. The members are periodically renewed and act on a voluntary basis. To date, 126 scientists owning the Hirsch index, have been selected in the international Scopus and Web of Science databases out of over 520 candidates nominated by 102 scientific organizations. Memberships of 18 scientific and technical councils have undergone rotation. 36 overseas scientists have been engaged as experts in the Scientific and Technical Councils.

The role of scientific societies in forming scientific domains

Minister of Innovative Development met with scientists at Bukhara State University

On January 21st this year, Minister of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan Ibrohim Abdurakhmonov visited the Bukhara State University. The Minister got acquainted with the work performed at the Bukhara State University in the field of science and innovation.

The university hosted the meeting with professors and gifted youth from the universities functioning in the Bukhara region. Briefing the meeting participants on the activities of the Ministry, I.Abdurakhmonov noted that the ministry is always open to suggestions. The minister made comments on each query and proposal.

During the meeting, it was also noted that an innovative project led by Professor Sh.R. Baratov and an applied project under the leadership of Professor M.K. Abuzalova won the competition for scientific projects and received a grant from the Ministry. They were awarded special certificates of the Ministry of Innovative Development.

The Minister of Innovative Development took part in the international scientific conference “Mahmudhoja Behbudi and the Jadid Press”.

On January 19, this year,  an international online conference “Mahmudhoja Behbudi and the Jadid Press” dedicated to the 146th anniversary of Mahmudhoja Behbudi was held at the Ministry of Innovative Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan jointly with the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education, the University of Journalism and Mass Communications of Uzbekistan and the Research Support Center.

Minister of Innovative Development Ibrohim Abdurakhmonov noted that the international conference once again gave an opportunity to remember the father and leader of the Turkestan Jadids, public figure, playwright – Mahmudhoja Behbudi.

“If you pay attention, the life and creativeness of Mahmudhoji Behbudi can be described as striving for innovation, – said I. Abdurakhmonov. – New schools were founded in Samarkand in 1903 by Behbudi, who believed that the only way to save people from tyranny and ignorance was education, knowledge and science.  Behbudi and his followers made efforts to improve the social and political systems of the country and change their way of life. Mahmudhoja Behbudi and the Jadids under his guidance can be undoubtedly called the first innovators of our republic. This is the opening of new schools with modern teaching methods, the creation of new theatre troupes to promote education in the absence of the Internet and television. The fact that setting of required conditions to educate the youths of Turkestan is consistent with our goal, which we now call the development of human capital, also proves the importance and topicality of this conference.

I would like to note that the Ministry of Innovative Development has announced a competition for projects to study the history of the Jadids’ movement in Turkestan, the legacy of the Jadids under the guidance of Mahmudhoja Behbudi. The numerous projects submitted by historians, philologists, linguists and art critics of the republic to the competition of innovative projects on “Creation of an electronic platform “jadid.uz” in the direction of Philology, Pedagogy and Psychology, shows the great interest of our scientists in this topic.
