The priority tasks of the Consulate General include the development of trade, economic and humanitarian ties. Therefore, the Consul General became interested in the development of RECs for oil and gas companies, including for the development of hard-to-recover hydrocarbon reserves. Due to depletion of reserves and technological losses, the production of hydrocarbons in the republic has fallen significantly over the past 15 years. Following the meeting, an agreement was reached that information about the REC developments would be transmitted through the consulate to Uzbek oil and gas companies.
The second area of cooperation may be the training of students from Uzbekistan. On the basis of one of the REC directions, a successful system of integration of industrial partners into the educational process has developed. These are lectures, master classes and teleconferences with the participation of specialists and managers of enterprises, a mentoring system, training students according to individual trajectories, involving them in scientific, practical and research activities, as well as further employment of graduates. All this is aimed at forming the competencies of students and young professionals in accordance with the requirements of the Industria4.0 paradigm.
In addition, the REC has developed additional professional education programs for oil workers, increasing their competence in the digital management of production facilities. Both of these directions are certainly relevant for Uzbekistan.
