IET TSUC is constantly striving to take the lead in the implementation of teacher-student mobility programs. As it was informed earlier, now our teacher Mukhtorov Saidkosim Saidosimovich is at the University of Osijek, Croatia through Erasmusplus program. Below Mukhtorov S.S. informed us about one of the activities carried out in the framework of this visit: “I was giving a lecture on “Entrepreneurship development in Tajikistan: challenges and opportunities” for the students of the Faculty of Economics, University of Osijek, Croatia. The lecture was attended by 50 students in the presence of the class (who holds a vaccine certificate) and broadcasted for the rest of the students, 120+ participants were attending online. I didn’t expect so many questions (mostly from online attendants) but found really inspiring their interest about Tajikistan, our economy, and business opportunities.
It’s a matter of pride that Croatian students asked about mobility opportunities, it was very nice to have their interest come to Khujand for studying at the IET TSUC through mobility programs. Meanwhile, we are agreed with the Faculty of Economics of the University of Osijek to continue collaboration in the framework of Erasmusplus and different areas of teaching and research. Stay tuned for the updates.
Also, I was happy that the students from the Institute of Economy and Trade of TSUC – IET TSUC and teaching staff of the “World Economy” department have attended the lecture. I have got some fresh ideas for my further research dedicated to entrepreneurship.”
