We look back on the first German-Central Asia Higher Education and Science Forum 2026 with great pleasure! Thanks to the active participation and inspiring contributions of all attendees, the event became a vibrant platform for exchange and networking. More than 200 researchers and experts explored opportunities for sustainable cooperation with the countries of Central Asia.
It was particularly clear how valuable cross-institutional and interdisciplinary dialogue is for developing shared perspectives in research and practice. Together, we demonstrated our strong interest in long-term collaboration with Central Asia – and laid the groundwork for initiating a cooperation network.
So we are excited to announce that, the next forum will take place from 22–24 February 2027 at the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina.
Please mark this date in your calendar!
