The Graduate School of Business and Entrepreneurship in Tashkent has launched the third training program under the GreenCamUz project - "Green Campus Initiative: Embedding Sustainable Development in Higher Education of Uzbekistan," funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ program. The training brings together representatives from six Uzbek higher education institutions (Kokand University, International University of Tashkent, Green University, Alfraganus University, Andijan State Technical Institute, and the High School of Business and Entrepreneurship) alongside experts from partner universities in Poland, Lithuania, and Turkey.
During the sessions, participant universities presented their tailored pilot projects. Key initiatives include digital administration and paperless document workflows, green laboratories equipped with energy-efficient technologies, eco-friendly library spaces, digital inventories of campus trees, climate research residencies, and real-time online air quality monitoring systems. These measures aim to significantly lower energy and paper consumption while serving as scalable benchmarks for other universities across the nation.
Additionally, the project is developing 12 new courses focused on sustainable development, green economics, and green finance, scheduled for student pilot testing in 2027. Teams of "Green Campus Ambassadors" are also being established at each institution to foster an eco-conscious culture. The upcoming days of the program will feature hands-on workshops and an observational visit to an industrial facility.
