Laureate: TTPU Makes Differences on Preserving Objects of Cultural Heritages in Uzbekistan

By Khasan Khankeldiyev, TTPU’s International Relations Department
Local participants of the seminar on preserving objects of the cultural heritages are getting ready to meet their counterparts from Italy, Germany, Croatia and Tajikistan via Zoom platform at TTPU’s conference hall (September 15, 2020).
At a seminar on preserving the cultural heritages held at TTPU this week, Laureate of the State Prize of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Abdusafi Rahmonov, said that Turin Polytechnic University makes differences and takes the responsibility while none of the universities of construction and architecture across Uzbekistan raised this issue. As a senior specialist at the Restoration and Research Department of Cultural Heritages in Tashkent, Mr. Rahmonov said that we need to rush to save the last brick and that traffic fumes are destroying historical monuments.
Thanks to ERAMCA Erasmus + project, local honorary speakers, professors and researchers met their counterparts from Italy, Germany, Croatia and Tajikistan in a virtual conference to shed light on problems that deteriorate conditions of cultural heritage sites in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.
In his opening speech, Dr. Jamshid Inoyatkhodjayev, Rector of TTPU, said, “Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are meeting our Western partners online and have local partners here in the university’s conference hall, but I can assure you it won’t affect the quality of the seminar at all.”
Dr. Inoyatkhodjayev was absolutely right as the quality of the seminar was really sustained from start to end as participants hotly debated over issues like restoring a school of restorers and the apathy of certain bodies of organizations to rushing to save the last brick of certain historical monuments.
A leading scholar and professor of Politecnico di Torino, Fulvio Rinaudo, said that frankness among participants will truly shed light on problems. Moreover, Alisher Yarkulov, a specialist at the Department for Preservation and Utilization of Cultural Objects of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Uzbekistan said that by optimizing our abilities and utilizing the experience and technologies of advanced Western economies in regard to the restoration of cultural objects, we will succeed in our mutual effort.
“History is not only historical monuments but also people, cultures, streets and dwellings. We should let those dwellings evolve along with historical monuments in their surroundings. We cannot just sweep away these historical dwellings and build modern buildings around historical monuments.”
— Askar Khasanov, Professor of the Department Geotechnical engineering department, SamSACII
WHAT IS ERAMCA?
ERAMCA stands for Environmental Risk Assessment and Mitigation on Cultural Heritage Assets in Central Asia. It is a joint capacity building project between three program countries (Italy, Germany and Croatia) and two partner countries (Uzbekistan and Tajikistan). Since February 2020, Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent has been implementing an ERASMUS + ERAMCA project.

Department of Automatic Control and Computer Engineering
The staff of the “Department of Automatic Control and Computer Engineering”, together with the specialists of the Competence Center of NTI SPPU “New manufacturing technologies” with the support of the program “University Alliance SAP” conducted a training course for teachers of the Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent (TTPU) under the program “Building business processes of intellectual enterprise”. The course was the first part of a 2-year large-scale curriculum for students and teachers of the university, the purpose of which is to prepare qualified staff for participation in digital transformation projects of “Uzavtosanoat” – the largest holding in Uzbekistan, which includes regional automobile enterprises, as well as companies with participation foreign capital from the Republic of Korea, Italy, Germany, USA, Japan and other countries.
What is a CRM for higher education?
According to the IT research and advisory of IT scholars, a CRM (Customer Relationship Management), is not only the technology but also “a business strategy that has primary objectives of optimizing profitability and revenue, improving customer satisfaction and promoting customer-centric processes.”
In other words, a CRM for higher education enables institutions to keep their stakeholder’s information up-to-date by facilitating and tracking every interaction the university has with them across different platforms, no matter where they are in the world. It is designed to help staff by simplifying their workflow and in turn, improving their relationships with students. The outcome? Increased admissions and retention rates, better communications with students and a happy team.
A good CRM will have a stylish, clean and user-friendly interface, making it enjoyable to use. The technology and design of a high-quality CRM will be updated and modernized as new innovations come to the fore. It consolidates all communication pipelines into a single program, making it easy for new and existing staff to learn how to use it to its full potential.

Turin Polytechnic University and the World Bank for the Safety of Public Schools in the City of Andijan
Turin Polytechnic University students are in a field of study in one of the public schools in the city of Andijan (August 9, 2019).
Turin Polytechnic University students and a team of experts assessed the seismic resistance of a number of public schools in the city of Andijan under the World Bank School Safety Project from August 1 to August 14 of 2019.
Professors and students from Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent and experts from the Institute of Mechanics and Seismology participated in field research to collect the necessary information from 9 different buildings and assess the seismic resistance of objects in the city of Andijan using Performance-Based Design technology.
The two-week research came out with the findings that helped the team develop blueprints and completed custom assessment questionnaires for each building block.
The next task of the team was to develop a structural model of buildings and conduct modeling to assess the seismic resistance of buildings using a special computer program.
For follow-ups of this news story, please check our news and upcoming events section.
To learn more about the research findings and structural modeling of the buildings to seismic resistance, please check the publication section of our department or just click on this link.

ERAMCA project
Start: 15-01-2020 – End: 14-01-2023
Project Reference: 609574-EPP-1-2019-1-IT-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP
EU Grant: 801376 EUR
Programme: Erasmus+
Key Action: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices
Action Type: Capacity Building in higher education
ERAMCA project introduces in the Partner Countries an interdisciplinary approach to the complex problem of environmental risk assessment and reduction on Cultural Heritage assets in Central Asia. The project starts with an investigation of the local needs in Partner Countries and transforms those requests into a curriculum of a Master (120 ECTS), a digital library where all the teaching materials (e.g. books, hypertexts, video, best practices) related to the courses planned for the Master are stored and freely accessible by everyone. The project foresees the realization of 4 specialized laboratories for the activation, in each of the Universities of the Partner Countries, of a Pilot Course to test the effectiveness of the didactic project with the users and eventually apply the appropriate corrections that will allow to draw up the didactic plan definitive. The laboratories will remain available to the Universities participating in the project for the systemization of the educational project in the institutional training activities. The UNESCO Office of Tashkent and the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Republic of Uzbekistan participate as associated partners to drive the project towards an internationally accepted standard and a real understanding of local needs. They will test if the achieved results will fit the real needs of the involved Partner Countries. The main envisaged impacts are the introduction into the Partner Countries HEIs of an interdisciplinary approach to solve complex problems that are of prominent local interest, the introduction of internationally accepted concepts on Conservation of Cultural Heritage assets, the correct comprehension of the environment actions on the Conservation of Cultural Heritage assets, and the growing up of the skills of a significant group of local teachers.
