On October 31 of this year, the teachers of the Departments of “Systems Analysis and Mathematical Modeling” and “World Economy” at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy held an online meeting with Professor Silvana Stefani of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy. This meeting was organized in close connection with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations, in particular, Quality Education (SDG 4), Clean Energy (SDG 7), Combating Climate Change (SDG 13) and Development through Partnership (SDG 17).

The meeting was attended by professors and teachers of the UWED conducting research in the field of economic and mathematical modeling, financial analysis and sustainable development. The prospects for international cooperation with Italian universities were discussed, including joint projects on modeling energy and financial markets, participation of students in international summer schools, joint scientific publications and preparation of applications for international grants.

Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Aybek Seytov delivered a report. His report on the topic “Mathematical models of optimal management of water resources in main canals” was devoted to the current issues of rational use of water resources in Uzbekistan. This research serves the goals of Clean Water and Sanitation and Climate Sustainability. The report presented the results of modeling unsteady water flows based on the system of Saint-Venant equations and numerical experiments on optimal flow control in open channels.

Professor M.T. Bakayev spoke about the research direction of the department related to the development of mathematical models of the securities market and their application in analyzing the dynamics of financial instruments. This direction corresponds to the goals of Sustainable Economic Growth and Decent Work and Innovation and Infrastructure.

The meeting was chaired by Professor A.S. Rasulov. At the end of the meeting, the parties stressed the importance of developing international scientific cooperation and expressed their readiness to implement joint projects, including in the field of sustainable development, energy modeling and the digital economy. This will strengthen the principles of achieving goals through Partnership.

For information. Professor Stefani is a recognized scientist in the field of applied mathematics, financial and energy modeling, and actively participates in international projects on sustainable development issues. He leads the International Summer School “Green Energy Management”, which brings together researchers and students from all over the world engaged in energy transition and climate sustainability issues. This initiative will serve to promote its goals and objectives.
