On October 16 of the current year, in the framework of the “Italian Language Week” held in Ashgabat, Italian professor Francesco Giommoni gave a lecture at the Turkmen State Architecture and Construction Institute.
The “Italian Language Week” is an initiative aimed at promoting the Italian language and culture in our country, and it is a clear indication of the expanding cooperation between Turkmenistan and Italy in the field of education. This is evidenced by Turkmen students pursuing higher education in the Italian Republic and local students participating in short-term academic programs. After the general lecture, students exchanged ideas on topics of interest related to their fields of study.
On the occasion of the guest's visit to the Turkmen State Architecture and Construction Institute, an exhibition was organized showcasing the scientific research and project work conducted by the institute's professors and students. The guests became closely acquainted with the exhibition and the design projects developed by the institute's teachers and students. Among the exhibits was a design project prepared by the institute’s teachers for a new campus complex of the institute that is under the construction in Ashgabat. Construction of the new buildings is progressing rapidly, and the opening of the new campus is expected in September 2026.
The institute carries out scientific research aimed at addressing key challenges in priority areas of science in the country such as ecology and sustainable use of natural resources, energy, chemical technologies, production of competitive innovative products, construction, architecture, seismic studies, and information and communication technologies. In October 2024, an IT scientific and technical center was established at the institute to coordinate the integration of science, education, and production. Several innovative design projects created by the institute’s faculty and students have already been implemented.
The Turkmen State Architecture and Construction Institute collaborates in the field of science and education within the framework of Memorandums of Understanding signed with prestigious Italian universities such as Ca' Foscari University of Venice and Politecnico di Milano.
