Credible Actions of the University in Advancing Interdisciplinary Research

Interdisciplinary research has become a driving force in solving complex global challenges, and universities play a vital role in fostering collaboration across diverse fields. At Alisher Navoiy Tashkent State University of Uzbek Language and Literature, the commitment to interdisciplinary research is evident through the dynamic initiatives led by the "Yosh Olimlar Jamiyati" (Young Scholars Society). This society, established in 2016, has played a crucial role in nurturing young researchers, fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue, and driving innovative projects that integrate various scientific domains.

1. Encouraging Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration One of the most effective actions taken by the university is the creation of a platform that brings together students and researchers from diverse academic backgrounds. The university has facilitated numerous interdisciplinary projects, particularly in the fields of computer linguistics, philology, and digital humanities. A notable achievement is the victory of the computer linguistics students in the 2023 university-wide "Startup" project competition. This initiative showcased the university's commitment to integrating linguistic research with artificial intelligence and computational technologies.

2. Promoting Excellence through Competitions and Olympiads The university actively supports students’ participation in prestigious international and national competitions, where interdisciplinary research plays a significant role. The participation of students in events such as the "BMT modeli" (UN Model) international competition highlights the university’s efforts in blending political science, linguistics, and communication studies. Furthermore, university scholars have excelled in inter-university Russian language Olympiads and have secured prestigious national scholarships, demonstrating the effectiveness of interdisciplinary methodologies in language and cultural studies.

3. Supporting Research Through Funding and Innovation Grants A clear commitment to interdisciplinary research is reflected in the financial support provided by the university. Since 2019, over 100 million UZS has been allocated to develop 35 specialized electronic dictionaries, combining linguistic expertise with software development. These projects not only contribute to philology but also foster collaboration between linguists, data scientists, and software engineers, demonstrating the university’s role in modernizing research approaches.

4. International Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange Global engagement is another key strategy employed by the university to advance interdisciplinary research. "Young Scholars Society " facilitates student exchange programs, allowing talented scholars to gain international experience. In 2019, eight outstanding students participated in the summer school at Ahmed Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University. Additionally, through the "Mevlana" exchange program, students and doctoral candidates have studied at six partner universities in Turkey, gaining insights into cross-cultural and interdisciplinary research methods.

5. Organizing Interdisciplinary Conferences and Academic Dialogues The university holds annual conferences aimed at encouraging young scholars to engage in interdisciplinary research. The April conference, "Language and Literature: First Steps in Scientific and Practical Research," and the November conference, "Philology Issues Through the Eyes of Young Researchers," serve as platforms for discussions that bridge multiple academic disciplines. These conferences allow students to present research that integrates literature, linguistics, sociology, psychology, and digital humanities, reinforcing the importance of interdisciplinary perspectives.
