Participation in the one-day workshop "Equanomics" as part of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) initiative in Kyrgyzstan
On December 19, 2025, Erkinbek kyzy Begayim, a fourth-year student in the WR-1-22 group majoring in Water Resources and Water Use, took part in a one-day workshop entitled “Equanomics,” organized as part of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) initiative in Kyrgyzstan
The workshop aimed to provide practical insight into modern approaches to developing sustainable, inclusive, and socially oriented economic policy, as well as to develop analytical thinking and interdisciplinary collaboration skills.
During the workshop, participants learned the fundamentals of economic planning and financing, and examined the principles of gender-responsive budgeting and the care economy as tools for sustainable development. Particular attention was paid to water economics, water resource management, and ecology, including:
Assessment and rational use of water resources in Kyrgyzstan; Economic assessment of the cost of water services and their integration into budgeting; The impact of climate change and the degradation of aquatic ecosystems on the country's socioeconomic development;
Linking water resources with energy, agriculture, and urban water supply; Developing mechanisms for efficient water use and environmentally sound management of water bodies.
Erkinbek kyzy Begayim actively participated in discussions and initiatives, made proposals for taking water resources and environmental constraints into account when formulating economic policy, and participated in the collective development of practical solutions.
Participation in this workshop contributed to the deepening of professional knowledge, the development of practical skills in environmental and economic analysis, and the formation of a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between economics, ecology, and water resources management.
A seminar for students on the topic: "Monitoring and inspection of hydraulic structures for their safety"
On December 16, 2025, the department held a seminar for students majoring in 750500 "Hydraulic Engineering" and 760100 "Water Resources and Water Use" on the topic "Monitoring and Inspection of Hydraulic Structures for Their Safety."
The purpose of the seminar is to develop modern methods and automated systems for inspecting hydraulic structures (HS) to improve operational safety, early detection of defects, and timely implementation of measures that will prevent accidents and ensure the reliability of facilities. This includes:
1. Familiarization with the latest methods and modern approaches to hydraulic structure diagnostics.
2. Applying acquired knowledge to ensure the reliable and safe operation of hydraulic structures.
3. Developing measures to prevent emergency situations and making informed decisions regarding their repair and reconstruction.
International Conference "Water, Mountains and Glaciers of the Kyrgyz Republic: A Sustainable Future"
On December 10, 2025, our faculty from the Department of Structural Mechanics and Hydraulic Engineering participated in the international conference "Water, Mountains, and Glaciers of the Kyrgyz Republic: A Sustainable Future." Conference Objectives:
Identify and discuss three key areas of strategic importance for ensuring the country's sustainable development:
1. Strengthening the role of Kyrgyzstan as a water and mountain center of the region - promoting its strategic interests in the field of water and energy security, as well as the formation of a sustainable dialogue on water and climate on the Kyrgyz platform.
2. Attracting international support and investment for the conservation of glaciers and aquatic ecosystems to protect and restore glaciers, lakes, reservoirs, and mountain ecosystems, including promoting initiatives to establish national Glacier and Lake Issyk-Kul Conservation Funds as a tool for internal consolidation.
3. Supporting national interests in water security and sustainable development. Drawing the attention of the international community to the critical importance of responding to water scarcity, glacier melting and the state of mountain ecosystems as factors directly affecting water security in the Kyrgyz Republic and Central Asian countries.

Meeting with the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Minister of Science, Higher Education and Innovation of the Kyrgyz Republic.
On November 28, 2025, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic Edil Baisalov and Minister of Science, Higher Education and Innovation of the Kyrgyz Republic Baktiyar Orozov paid a working visit to the Kyrgyz State Technical University named after I. Razzakov.
During the visit, guests were presented with the university's main activities, ongoing reforms, and infrastructure modernization plans. During the visit, guests were presented with the university's main activities, ongoing reforms, and infrastructure modernization plans.
Projects to open new laboratories, implement digital technologies, and improve student conditions were also discussed. As a result, a number of objectives were set to improve the university's efficiency.
On November 13, 2025, a scientific and practical seminar was held on the topic "Modern methods of hydrodynamic modeling of natural disasters and risk management: the Swiss experience for Kyrgyzstan."
The event was held at the Department of Structural Mechanics and Hydraulic Structures at the I. Razzakov Kyrgyz Technical University with the support and assistance of the Embassy of Switzerland in the Kyrgyz Republic and the Department of Monitoring and Forecasting of Emergencies of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Kyrgyz Republic. Invited expert: Dr. Eric Bardou.
Concept and program of the seminar
Kyrgyzstan's mountainous terrain makes the country extremely vulnerable to natural disasters such as mudflows, flash floods, and lake outbursts. Switzerland, with its global experience in managing these risks, is a strategic partner for knowledge and technology sharing. This seminar is a direct transfer of practical experience from a leading European expert to the scientific and engineering community of Kyrgyzstan.
The aim of the seminar was to introduce advanced Swiss methods and software systems (HEC-RAS, RAMMS, FLO-2D) for modeling hazardous hydrological processes. The seminar also discussed practical aspects of risk assessment and ensuring the safety of hydraulic structures in the face of climate change. To establish professional connections between the expert and the university for possible future collaboration on research projects and professional development.
Scientific conference "Science Week 2025"
As part of Science Week 2025, an event was held on November 12 with students of the Department of Structural Mechanics and Hydraulic Structures in the following areas: 750500 "Construction" - profile: "Hydraulic Engineering"; and 760100 "Environmental Management and Water Management" - profile: "Water Resources and Water Management".
