Help Shape the Future of Environmental Engineering Education in Uzbekistan

As part of the Erasmus+ Capacity Building project “Implementing Environmental Engineering Master Degrees through Sustainable Transition and Societal Change” (GREENDT), we are conducting a survey to support the development of a new Master’s program in Environmental Engineering in Uzbekistan.

Why This Survey Matters

Uzbekistan faces a range of pressing environmental challenges—from air and water pollution to waste management and soil degradation. The GREENDT project seeks to address these challenges by designing a modern, innovative Master’s program grounded in the expertise of European Union universities. But for the program to be effective and relevant, we need the perspectives of those most connected to the issues: you.

What the Survey Covers

The survey aims to identify:

  • The most critical environmental concerns in Uzbekistan.
  • Gaps in current education and policy.
  • Public awareness of environmental engineering as a profession.
  • Motivations for pursuing a degree in this field.
  • Opportunities for collaboration between universities, industries, and government institutions.
  • The potential for integrating sustainable practices into higher education and beyond.

Who Should Participate

We invite individuals with a connection to Uzbekistan to take part in the survey, including:

  • Students and recent graduates.
  • University faculty and staff.
  • Professionals working in environmental fields.
  • Policy makers and members of civil society.
  • Anyone interested in sustainability and environmental education.

Take the Survey

Your feedback is essential in designing a curriculum that meets both local and global standards. Please choose the language version that suits you best:

Why Participate?

Your insights will directly influence the creation of a high-quality academic program that not only prepares students for future careers but also contributes to environmental protection and sustainable development in Uzbekistan.

GREENDT: Kick-Off Meeting Launches a New Era in Environmental Engineering Education in Uzbekistan

The GREENDT project (Implementing Master Degrees in Environmental Engineering through Sustainable Transition and Societal Change) officially took off with a high-impact Kick-Off Meeting (KOM) held from February 17–18, 2025, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This two-day event, hosted by Kimyo International University, marked the beginning of an ambitious three-year Erasmus+ initiative aimed at transforming Environmental Engineering education in Uzbekistan.

Bringing together a consortium of 11 partner institutions from Uzbekistan, Portugal, and Spain, the KOM served as a pivotal platform to align visions, set priorities, and lay the groundwork for deep academic collaboration. The meeting was a milestone not only for launching the project but for establishing the strong international partnerships that will drive GREENDT forward.

Participants engaged in intensive sessions covering:

  • Strategic planning and review of the project Work Packages.
  • Financial and administrative procedures related to the project.
  • Roadmaps for training, webinars, and the development of a handbook.
  • Planning of key deliverables, including a  survey and SWOT analysis, the educational toolkit, and laboratory equipment procurement.

Beyond the technical discussions, the KOM fostered a vibrant exchange of ideas and experiences. Visits to Kimyo International University and the historic city of Samarkand enriched the gathering, creating opportunities for cultural connection and dialogue with local faculty and students.

The Kick-Off Meeting set a strong tone for the project’s trajectory. As the starting point of GREENDT, the KOM reaffirmed the commitment of all partners to empower universities in Uzbekistan to deliver forward-thinking, high-quality education in Environmental Engineering—aligned with the EU Green Deal and the global sustainability agenda.
