We are thrilled to announce that three students from Uzbekistan have achieved remarkable success in the international round of the VIII Economics Olympiad (EO), winning silver and bronze medals!
This year marks Uzbekistan's debut in this prestigious Olympiad, and we are proud to say it has been a successful one! The Olympiad is structured in three rounds: the School Round, held in February 2024 across Uzbekistan with 583 participants from 14 regions; the National Round, hosted by WIUT on May 22, 2024, with 81 participants. The final round of EO2024 took place in the historic Ancient Olympia, Greece, September 1-4, 2024.
As a leading academic partner of the Economic Fundamentals Initiative (EFI) project activities in Uzbekistan, WIUT played a crucial role in this journey by managing the School Round, hosting the National round, and conducting advanced training for the International Final Round of the Olympiad. The EFI project has funded all three rounds, making this achievement possible.
The delegation of five students (Khumoyunbek Ibrohimov, Jasurbek Rizoqulov, Samandar Norboyev, Behruz Olimov, Miron Tursunov), led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ikrom Rikhsiboev, WIUT Dean for Graduate School, showcased incredible talent on the global stage. Khumoyunbek Ibrohimov won a silver medal, while Jasurbek Rizokulov and Samandar Norboyev each earned bronze medals! All finalists are exceptional students from the Qarshi and Navoi Presidential Schools.
The competition in the final round was intense, featuring written and verbal challenges, with participants from 18 countries including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, China, Albania, Serbia, Slovakia, Netherlands, Greece, Poland, and the Czech Republic.
EFI project activities in Uzbekistan, including the implementation of EO, are managed by Dr. Nargiza Alimukhamedova, WIUT Associate Professor and the Course Leader of the MSc Research Methods for Social Sciences.
