Significant dates and scientific development
The event was timed to coincide with two anniversary events in the country's history:
Opening the conference, Presidential Advisor Cholponbek Abykeev announced fundamental changes in the state's approach to the scientific sphere. According to him, at the initiative of President Sadyr Japarov, the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Innovation was formed, and infrastructure modernization was carried out, including the major renovation of the National Academy of Sciences building and the updating of the material and technical base of universities.
"The state's attitude toward science is changing fundamentally. Even more large-scale work is planned in the coming years. I am sure that you will all witness this."
During the discussions, a priority task for the scientific community was identified — filling gaps and studying unexamined pages in the history of the Kyrgyz people.
