Protecting Youth from Social and Economic Losses - on focus

“The AI Hub brings together promising ideas from universities, researchers, start-ups, and innovators on a single collaborative platform. Its mission is to coordinate these initiatives and provide end-to-end support—from early-stage concepts to market-ready products and sustainable businesses.
The ecosystem integrates co-working spaces, mentorship programmes, technological expertise, investor engagement, and commercialisation mechanisms, enabling innovative ideas to evolve into globally competitive solutions,” said Odil Qo‘ysinov, Vice Rector of Nordik University and Head of the Delegation.

“Such international experience plays a vital role in strengthening collaboration between academia, research, and industry, empowering innovators, and accelerating the development of cutting-edge AI technologies.”

Operating in partnership with Princeton University, the innovation centre introduced participants to advanced approaches for managing AI ecosystems, commercialising research and innovation, and understanding the strategic role of modern data centres in the advancement of artificial intelligence.

Through interactive workshops and role-based simulations on AI infrastructure management, participants explored practical models of collaboration between universities, industry, and government, gaining valuable insights into effective innovation governance.

This international AI professional development programme is designed to study global best practices, adapt them to Uzbekistan’s education system, and contribute to the development of a new generation of AI leaders capable of driving technological transformation.

Participants are not only gaining an in-depth understanding of the theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence but are also actively engaging in hands-on training focused on integrating advanced AI platforms into teaching, learning, and university governance.

In addition, the participants are exploring Rowan University’s best practices, visiting the High-Performance Computing Center (HPC Center), examining AI-powered educational solutions, and learning about the application of Virtual Reality (VR) and Extended Reality (XR) technologies, while gaining valuable insights into the innovation ecosystem of the United States.

Each module extends far beyond theory, incorporating practical projects, case study analyses, expert-led sessions, and strategic discussions, ensuring an intensive, engaging, and impactful learning experience that equips participants with the competencies needed to lead AI-driven transformation in higher education.

Hosted by Rowan University, the intensive 10-day international professional development programme, “Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education: Concepts, Leadership and Implementation Practices,” provides participants with an opportunity to explore cutting-edge U.S. approaches to the integration of artificial intelligence in education, strategic leadership, and evidence-based implementation practices.
