Higher education institutions in Turkmenistan are set to participate in the prestigious "Lomonosov-2026" International Youth Scientific Forum, organized by Lomonosov Moscow State University. According to the Ministry of Education of Turkmenistan, this collaboration marks a significant step in the internationalization of the country's academic sphere. By integrating into this world-renowned forum, Turkmen universities are creating a dynamic environment for young scholars to engage in high-level scientific discourse and showcase their research to a global audience of peers and experts.

The highlight of the forum, scheduled from April 10 to 25, 2026, is the XXXIII International Scientific Conference for Students, Graduate Students, and Young Scientists. In an effort to expand the forum’s geographical reach, sessions will be held at international partner sites outside of Moscow. In Ashgabat, the Dovletmammet Azadi Turkmen National Institute of World Languages and the Magtymguly Turkmen State University will serve as the host platforms. These institutions will facilitate discussions across four major scientific disciplines, providing a localized hub for intellectual exchange in Central Asia.

The conference is open to a diverse range of participants under the age of 35, including undergraduate and graduate students, PhD candidates, and young researchers. Prospective attendees must complete their registration via the "Lomonosov" scientific and educational portal by April 6, 2026. The sessions will be conducted in Russian and English, ensuring broad accessibility and fostering cross-cultural academic networking. This inclusive, fee-free participation model encourages the brightest young minds to contribute their unique perspectives to the evolving scientific landscape.

Upon the conclusion of the forum, participants will receive official certificates of attendance, while the authors of the most distinguished scientific papers will be honored with diplomas for excellence. This recognition is highly valued in the international academic community and serves as a vital credential for future professional and research opportunities. The hosting of the "Lomonosov-2026" sessions in Ashgabat reaffirms Turkmenistan's commitment to nurturing domestic talent and its proactive role in international scientific and educational cooperation.
