The GEM-SILKWAY Central Asia edition took place from June 24 to June 28, 2024, at the Umut Resort in the Issyk-Kul region of Kyrgyzstan. GEM-SILKWAY Central Asia was jointly organized by Osh State University (Osh, KG), L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University (Astana, KZ), and the University of Milano-Bicocca (Milan, IT). GEM-SILKWAY Central Asia saw the participation of 15 students and 19 lecturers’ members.
In process of energy transition, reflections on issues of public concern that affect cultures and societies at the global level are needed. The aim of GEM-SILKWAY CENTRA ASIA is to adopt a cross-cultural perspective in analysing the meaning of concepts like sustainability and human development.
Energy transition has become a hot issue, which is debated at the global level from different perspectives, that is from geographic, cultural, scientific, social, economic, and technological ones. The Summer School is thus aimed at brin-ging together experts in different fields – such as academics, professionals, and institutional representatives – with the interest in opening a productive interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue on questions of common concern. In particular, the Summer School will be focused on the transformation of geo-politics in relation to energy crises, starting from the ongoing changes occur-red in Central Asian area. Students will thus benefit of lectures, debates with international scholars and students, cultural activities, and visits in place of interest.
The facility provided by Osh State University, Umut Resort in the Issyk-Kul region near Karakol, proved to be perfectly adequate for creating a conducive environment for the GEM-SILKWAY Central Asia. The host facility is located on the shore of Issyk Kul Lake.
