Organization of Turkmen Scholars

The 2nd Annual Symposium organized by the Organization of Turkmen
Scholars will be held in Houston, Texas, this year, on June 13-15.

The Organization of Turkmen Scholars was created with the goal of
establishing a common integrated platform for inspiring mutual
collaborations and support among Turkmen scholars and students of
science. We believe that this organization and its symposium series,
which are the first of their kind since the formation of independent
Turkmenistan, will play an important role in the future advancement of
science and technology in Turkmenistan.

The main theme of the symposium will be presentations by Turkmen
scholars from around the world about their academic achievements. In
addition, several discussion sessions will be held where novel future
projects and prospects under the main goal of advancing science in
Turkmenistan will be discussed. The presentations and proceedings in
this symposium are expected to be published in national Turkmen
journals and newspapers, as well as aired on the Turkmen National
Television.

Organization of Turkmen Scholars held its first symposium last year in
Dallas (TX). Last year's symposium was a great success and has
received high praises from Turkmen officials, as well as Turkmen
national media. Since 2007, our organization has grown; we currently
have at least 60 active members and expect to double that amount this
year. We anticipate that this symposium will become a tradition and a
symbol of excellence in Turkmen science.
