On December 2 this year, on the sidelines of a business trip to Tokyo, Japan, the president of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, associate member of NAST Khushvakhtzoda Kobiljon Khushvakht met with the vice president of the Japanese Agency for Science and Technology (JST) Shigeo Morimoto.
During the meeting, the president of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, associate member of NAST Khushvakhtzoda Kobiljon Khushvakht expressed his gratitude to the vice president of the Japanese Science and Technology Agency (JST) Shigeo Morimoto for accepting and discussing the existing issues related to scientific cooperation.
At the same time, it was emphasized that the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) is one of the main organizations in Japan and promotes scientific research, technological development and international cooperation. This agency plays an important role in supporting scientific initiatives and educational programs in the Republic of Tajikistan, regularly solving global and regional problems.
During the meeting, the parties discussed the active participation of the Agency in the implementation of the SATREPS (Scientific Research and Technology Partnership for Sustainable Development) program, which helps to solve the problems of sustainable development through joint research.
Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) implements the development of technologies for effective management of water resources, including irrigation and soil erosion prevention. It should be said that within the framework of the climate change and ecology project, the Agency is conducting research on the impact of climate change on the glaciers and water systems of Central Asia, which are of key importance for the region.
At the same time, it was emphasized that this Agency supports academic exchange between Japanese and Tajik universities through scholarships and grants for Tajik researchers who want to study in Japan, as well as the training of young scientists in the fields of engineering, ecology, biotechnology and natural resource management.
In this regard, we intend to further strengthen cooperation with you for the transfer of innovative technologies. In this regard, we hope that the Japanese Science and Technology Agency (JST) will facilitate the transfer of Japanese technologies and their implementation in Tajikistan.
It is also necessary, that our specialists and scientists implement joint projects related to the adaptation of Japanese technology to local conditions, for example, in the field of seismology and hydropower.
Regarding seismology and disaster risk management, Tajikistan is located in a region of high seismic activity, which makes the projects of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) in the field of seismology important.
In this regard, we propose to establish cooperation through the Institute of Geology, Earthquake-Resistant Construction and Seismology of the National Academy of Sciences in the development of earthquake monitoring and early warning systems, as well as the training of Tajik specialists in the methods of risk assessment and prevention of the consequences of natural disasters.
In this context, the Agency of Science and Technology of Japan plays an important role in the development of science of the Republic of Tajikistan by providing access to research and advanced technologies.
Thanks to the cooperation with the Japanese Science and Technology Agency, the Republic of Tajikistan is strengthening its scientific capacity and solving the main problems of sustainable development and environmental security.
