Scientists from six countries will establish an international consortium to study the history of steppe civilization. The agreement was signed in Almaty during the ninth General Assembly meeting of the Union of National Academies of Sciences of the Turkic World (UNASTW). The project involves Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, Türkiye and Mongolia. Researchers will focus on the history of the Ulus of Jochi, the Golden Horde and the Great Silk Road. They will conduct archaeological expeditions, study ancient manuscripts, and prepare scientific publications. Historical documents will be digitized and incorporated into a unified electronic database. The program is designed to run for five years.
«The fourth area is engaging young scientists in research. University teaching materials and textbooks need to be updated. All of this will be transformed, with each research project and the results of scientific developments eventually incorporated into new educational programs,» noted Akhylbek Kurishbayev, President of the Board, Kazakh National Academy of Sciences under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
