The proposed roadmap for science, education, economy and technological-engineering among Turkic-speaking states discussed the creation of a common hybrid science and education platform that combines projects and programs in the fields of artificial intelligence, digital resources, language, and advanced practices as a pressing issue.
The preparation of technological-engineering infrastructure projects, mobility programs for a network of mutual scientific research based on the multidisciplinary foundations of scientific knowledge, the creation of a technology park, and an innovation center were proposed and discussed.
The main goal of holding the symposium is to achieve a high image of global scientific solidarity in the Turkic world.
