Photonics and optical communication: a new network in the science of Uzbekistan...

"INMACOM: photonics and optical communication to meet the needs of the telecommunications labor market in Uzbekistan" was selected for funding in the direction of "Improving the potential of higher education" of the European Union's ERASMUS + program of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The implementation of the project "Innovative master's program" has begun.

Within the framework of this project, in order to develop the labor market in the field of telecommunications in Uzbekistan, links between universities and production will be expanded, as well as an educational base will be created to train a new generation of ICT engineers specializing in photonics. and optical communications, which can contribute to the development of telecommunications in the regions of our republic.

As a practical expression of this initiative, seminars and trainings are being held at Samarkand State University to organize an innovative master's program in the direction "INMACOM: photonics and optical communication to meet the needs of the labor market in the field of telecommunications in Uzbekistan."

The event is attended by representatives of the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, specialists from the Samarkand State University, the National University of Uzbekistan, the Tashkent University of Information Technologies, the Turin Polytechnic Institute of Italy, the Vri and Ghent Universities of Belgium and other partner universities in Europe. meetings. In addition, representatives of the telecommunications industry of the MIR SOLAR company and specialists from the Khorezm branch of UZTELECOM are expected to participate.

On the first day of the meeting, an innovative master's program in photonics and optical communications was discussed to meet the needs of the telecommunications labor market in Uzbekistan and topical issues of training in this area, an exchange of conclusions and recommendations on topical issues for the implementation of the project took place.

Khakim Khushvaktov, Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation, Samarkand State University:

- Today in Uzbekistan much attention is paid to training personnel for the most important sectors of the economy. At the moment, in higher educational institutions of Uzbekistan, in cooperation with prestigious universities of the world, urgent agreements are being concluded on the opening of new programs and areas of study. At the heart of such efforts lies the issue of quality training. Through these programs, the practice of training modern and qualified personnel is being launched. This training seminar, held at Samarkand State University, was funded under the ERASMUS + program of the European Union, and was devoted to discussing the project of an innovative master's program in photonics and optical communications to provide highly qualified personnel for the field of telecommunications in Uzbekistan. 5 authoritative specialists of higher educational institutions of Uzbekistan are involved in the implementation of this project. The main goal is to train specialists in the field of telecommunications and the use of solar energy in Uzbekistan.

Abduvоkhid Jumaboev, Professor of the Institute of Engineering Physics of Samarkand State University, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences:

- Наши ученые и зарубежные профессора участвуют в обсуждениях реализации проекта инновационной магистерской программы по фотонике и оптической связи в Самаркандском государственном университете. В первый день семинара рассмотрен анализ имеющихся в Самаркандском государственном университете возможностей относительно сущности и актуальных вопросов подготовки кадров в этой области, а также вопросы решения стоящих перед нами задач по подготовке магистров в этой новой области. Сегодня институт инженерной физики Самаркандского государственного университета имеет в этом плане все возможности. Предпринимаются усилия по открытию направления фотоники и оптических коммуникаций во взаимном сотрудничестве с престижными европейскими университетами с высоким научным потенциалом. Сегодняшний семинар является прелюдией к работе в этом направлении.

Andrea Carena, professor at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy, specialist in photonics and optical communications:

- Photonics and optical communication, optical fiber components are an important area of fundamental research for any country in the world. From smartphones, which have become a major part of our lives today, to laptops, the Internet wave, the process of transmitting information through it, everything is connected with photonics. Aotonics is the technology of creating, controlling and detecting light waves and photons, which are particles of light. By studying the characteristics of waves and photons, one can achieve effective results in such important areas as increasing the speed of the Internet, fast, high-quality and reliable data transfer, and digital medicine. At present, Samarkand State University is exchanging agreements and practical proposals on opening a master's program in this field and conducting joint scientific research. I think this is a great opportunity for higher educational institutions in Uzbekistan. I believe that the new master's program in photonics and optical communications, which is being opened at Samarkand State University, will open the door of opportunities in this regard...

It should be noted that this project is the first important step in the framework of cooperation in the field of optics, photonics and telecommunications in our country, in particular, at Samarkand State University, in the training of highly qualified specialists, the creation of new educational programs and laboratories. It is planned to establish close cooperative relations with European universities in Italy and Belgium.

This project is the basis for creating an educational base for training a new generation of engineers specializing in the field of photonics and optical communications, which will contribute to the development of telecommunications throughout the country, in addition to expanding university connections and industrial networks for the development of the labor market in the field of telecommunications in Uzbekistan.
