Introduction
The new project is based on a Kazakh hub built around three Kazakh leading universities, 1) UIB in Almaty (leading), 2) Al Farabi Kazakh National University in Almaty (KAZNU, notoriously very strong in hard science disciplines since Soviet times), and 3) Dulaty University in Taraz (DU, a generalist university). This hub will be connected with a group of two Uzbek universities, namely 1) the Namangan State University in Namangan (NSU, a former pedagogical university, now generalist), and 2) the Tashkent State Technical University in the Uzbek capital city of Tashkent (TSTU, a large engineering university). To this structure, a Kyrgyz university is added, the Kyrgyz State Technical University in the Kyrgyz capital city of Bishkek (KSTU, a generalist university). Noticeably, these six universities all belong to the same small area sized just a few hundred kilometers of length, and located in the heart of Central Asia, right on one sector of the historical Silk Road. This carefully crafted geographical arrangement is expected to greatly facilitate exchanges and international cooperation among the CA partners, which are otherwise divided by national borders. Because of this setting, the project hopes to better satisfy at once the regional, national and university level necessities of all partners.
Reports and Pictures
- Incoming student mobility for Study, a student from KSTU to UNICAM
During the exchange program at the University of Camerino, the student acquired new knowledge and enhanced their skills, benefiting both academically and personally. They attended various courses, collaborated with international students on projects, and found the professors to be supportive and engaging. Participation in cultural and social events provided opportunities to connect with people from different backgrounds. Exploring Camerino and its surroundings was also a highlight, with friendly locals and beautiful landscapes. Overall, the experience was highly valuable for both their studies and future career.

- Incoming Staff mobility for training, Prof. Mirlan Chynybaev from KSTU to UNICAM
The Rector of the Kyrgyz State Technical University, Prof. Mirlan Chynybaev, visited the University of Camerino in July 2025 for a mobility for training aimed at reviewing ongoing and past mobility activities and preparing a new “Central Asia + Italy” project proposal.
During his stay, he met with the UNICAM Rector Prof. Graziano Leoni, the General Director, Eng. Andrea Braschi, the project coordinator Prof. Carlo Lucheroni, and other faculty and staff members to explore opportunities for expanding the academic cooperation.
The mobility included a visit at the CHIP Research Centre, at the new Food lab and discussions on future collaborations, such as joint double-degree programmes, PhD co-supervision, and a potential joint curriculum in Tourism Management, which is a strategic field for Kyrgyzstan. The Call 2022 project has already enabled KSTU master’s students in IT to study in UNICAM. The new proposal aims to broaden exchanges to include Food Technology, Architecture, Applied Mathematics, Geology, and Management.
