According to the organizers, the forum served as a platform for discussing new forms of academic cooperation between Poland, Uzbekistan, and Central Asian countries. It was attended by rectors, representatives of educational organizations, and international foundations.

It is noted that Samarkand was chosen as a symbolic venue, given its historical role in fostering international cooperation. Within the framework of the forum, prospects for launching joint educational programs and research projects were discussed.
