International Research Collaboration from the Heart of Central Asia – WIUT

Westminster International University in Tashkent (WIUT) is Uzbekistan’s first international university and a regional hub for excellence in education, research, and innovation. We offer UK-validated undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in a wide range of disciplines, including:

Business, Management and Finance

Law, Governance and Public Policy

Education, Pedagogy and Lifelong Learning

Sustainability, Environment and Circular Economy

Entrepreneurship and Regional Innovation

WIUT is an active participant in EU-funded projects (Erasmus+ CBHE, Jean Monnet, and Horizon Europe) and seeks to expand its international research partnerships under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). We offer a vibrant academic environment, well-established project management experience, and growing research clusters in both applied and theoretical fields.

We are currently seeking partnerships for future MSCA consortia and Horizon Europe projects. Specifically, we are open to collaborations in but not limited:

AI, cybersecurity, and the digital transition

Green economy, circular practices, and sustainability

Legal innovation, anti-corruption, and digital governance

Inclusive education, pedagogy, and EdTech

SMEs, entrepreneurship, and innovation ecosystems

Labour markets, social inclusion, and public administration reform

WIUT can serve as a host institution for MSCA researchers and secondments, or as a project partner offering access to academic expertise, regional policy networks, stakeholder engagement, and a motivated base of early-career researchers.

We look forward to connecting with research institutions, universities, and organisations across Europe and beyond who are exploring new MSCA proposals or long-term collaboration opportunities.
