On April 30, 2025, a significant scientific and educational meeting was held at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy with an outstanding scientist, academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, laureate of the State Prize named after Abu Rayhan Beruni - Shokir Kasimovich Formanov. Topic: "From Accidents to Patterns: The Art of Drawing Conclusions from Data".

The event was organized by the Department of System Analysis and Mathematical Modeling. It was attended not only by representatives of the university administration and teachers of departments, but also undergraduate and graduate students, as well as high school students of school No. 339 of Yashnabad district and UWED graduates. Such a wide range of participants has become a vivid example of how scientific knowledge and educational initiatives can be accessed and demanded by a wider audience.

Shokir Kasimovich Formanov is one of the leading scientists in Uzbekistan in the field of probability theory and mathematical statistics. His works have received recognition both in the country and abroad, and his international scientific career covers the largest scientific centers in Russia, the USA, Japan, Germany, France, China and other countries. During the lecture, the academician shared valuable experience in the field of data analysis, demonstrating how it is possible to extract stable patterns from seemingly chaotic data. He explained the role of probabilistic methods in fields such as economics, sociology, biomedicine, engineering, and information technology. Particular attention was paid to the challenges of data interpretation in the era of big data and artificial intelligence.

Students and teachers actively participated in the discussion, asked questions and shared many ideas on the application of statistical methods in scientific and graduate works. The discussion of such topics as boundary theorems and the law of large numbers aroused keen interest and response from all participants of the meeting.

It is especially important to note that this meeting was a vivid example of how universities can contribute to the popularization of knowledge about scientific methods and their application to solving global problems. By engaging participants in discussions about statistical methods and their role in sustainable development, the university contributes to raising awareness and stimulates public participation in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
