Tashkent, 11 November 2026
The third day of the Third Training Program of the Erasmus+ project GreenCamUz – “Green Campus Initiative: Integrating Sustainability into Higher Education in Uzbekistan” took place on 11 November 2026. The day was devoted to Green Culture: the values, habits and institutional practices that make sustainability part of everyday university life. In the afternoon, participants visited one of Uzbekistan’s leading industrial enterprises.
Green Culture I
The morning began at the Graduate School of Business and Entrepreneurship under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan (GSBE) with the first Green Culture session, led by Shoxrux Pulatov, Consultant at the Asian Development Bank (ADB). He brought the perspective of an international development institution to how green culture forms within organisations and why it matters for long-term sustainable development.
Green Culture II
The second session was led by Utkirjon Kholbadalov of Expertise France (AFD Group). It continued the discussion of green culture and showed how international experience and development cooperation can help Uzbek universities build a culture of sustainability among students, staff and leadership.
The two sessions stressed a key idea of the GreenCamUz project: green infrastructure and new courses alone are not enough. A truly green campus also depends on people who share sustainable values and put them into practice every day.
Site visit to UzAuto Motors Powertrain
In the afternoon, participants visited UzAuto Motors Powertrain in the Sergeli district of Tashkent. The visit gave academics and project partners a first-hand look at a modern industrial enterprise. It connected the training program’s themes, including life cycle thinking, industrial automation and sustainable production, with real industrial practice in Uzbekistan.
Visits of this kind help build links between universities and industry, an important condition for preparing graduates who can support Uzbekistan’s green transition.
Coming up
On 12 November, the program continues with Green Finance sessions led by Dr. Hayot Berk Saydaliev (GSBE) and Ireneusz Hetmańczyk (Opole University of Technology, Poland), followed by a visit to the State Museum of the History of Uzbekistan.
