WRHM2SCA Project Presented to TIIAME National Research University Leadership

As part of the broader engagement strategy for the WRHM2SCA project, a formal meeting was convened on June 19, 2025, with Professor Salohiddinov A., Vice-Rector for International Affairs of TIIAME National Research University (Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers).

Discussions underscored the strong alignment between the WRHM2SCA project and TIIAME’s strategic priorities, particularly in promoting scientific excellence, fostering international collaboration, and enhancing capacity building in water resource management.

Prof. Salohiddinov expressed full institutional support for the initiative and emphasized the strategic value of integrating Earth Observation technologies and decision-support platforms—such as Majisys and Delft-FEWS—into both academic curricula and applied research frameworks.

The meeting reaffirmed a fundamental principle—international collaboration is not optional—it is essential for advancing inclusive, science-based, and resilient water governance across the Syr Darya River Basin and beyond.

Building on this momentum, both parties agreed to initiate a formal cooperation framework that will include joint research activities, student and faculty exchanges, and collaborative capacity-building programs. This future partnership aims to strengthen regional expertise in water resource management and ensure long-term sustainability through shared innovation and knowledge.
