The International Week includes three basic academic areas:

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, five Central Asian states being located between geostrategic players have chosen different paths of state building and development. Today, when the regionalization is becoming more prevalent in international relations, is there a common vision among Central Asian states? How the regionalization of Central Asia is shaped? How the education system is being reformed?
2. Cultural Diversity and International Collaboration.
Central Asia is a region concentrating a huge cultural variety, presented by 5 major root ethnicities and over 150 minorities. Therefore, the research on multiethnic structure and international collaboration is essential, taking into account the current trends in the world.
