In today’s world, international cooperation plays a crucial role for higher education institutions. Establishing partnerships with leading universities worldwide opens new doors for students and faculty, enhancing not only scientific research but also the implementation of innovative educational programs and the training of highly qualified specialists in accordance with international standards.

With this in mind, Abu Ali Ibn Sina Bukhara State Medical Institute is placing special emphasis on expanding its international collaborations and strengthening ties with leading educational institutions worldwide.

Partnership with Lithuania Established.

Recently, Bukhara State Medical Institute (BukhSMI) took another significant step in its international cooperation efforts by establishing ties with one of Lithuania’s leading higher education institutions – Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH). This university is one of the most prestigious educational institutions in Lithuania, ranking second after Vilnius University in terms of size and academic excellence.

As part of this collaboration, a delegation led by Professor Romuald Klyukas, Rector of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University and Doctor of Technical Sciences, visited Bukhara. During the meeting, both parties discussed the creation of joint educational programs in the field of Biomedical Engineering, including plans to develop a 1+1 Master’s program.

Memorandum of Understanding Signed.

To formalize this partnership, BukhSMI and Vilnius Gediminas Technical University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This memorandum aims to enhance international cooperation in education and scientific research, with key objectives including:

• Development of joint educational programs
• Exchange of academic and research materials
• Faculty and researcher exchange programs
• Student exchange opportunities

This agreement will provide BukhSMI students with access to internationally recognized education and will enhance opportunities for faculty members to conduct scientific research and share experiences.

Bukhara State Medical Institute remains committed to further expanding its international cooperation efforts. The partnership with Vilnius Gediminas Technical University is expected to strengthen over time, opening up new opportunities for students and faculty alike.
