Research Forum
Jasmina Zaynullayeva
The Talimy Research Forum is a one-month intensive program where students learn to conduct academic research through teamwork, mentorship, and structured guidance. It combines fundamentals, hands-on practice, feedback loops, and opportunities to publish, all in a way that feels accessible to beginners.
What makes the Research Forum unique is its philosophy:
Research is not an individual struggle, it is a collaborative process.
Students work in groups, debate their findings, divide responsibilities, and learn to write papers as teams. They are guided step-by-step through choosing a topic, reviewing literature, analyzing data, and forming evidence-based arguments. When their papers are completed, Talimy offers feedback and opportunities for publication on its website. The first cohort is already underway, bringing together 22 high school students and 15 university students, each representing different perspectives, regions, and ambitions. Even in its early stages, the Research Forum is becoming a space where students discover their intellectual confidence.
From Research… to Policy… to Impact
But Talimy’s goal has never been limited to academic writing.
Research without action remains unfinished.
This is why the Research Forum integrates public policy education into the process: students learn how their findings connect to decisions, institutions, and social change. After writing their papers, they are encouraged to implement their ideas, design policy proposals, and contribute solutions to their communities.
A Vision Beyond Today
Behind the Research Forum is a long-term vision:
to build a national youth research ecosystem that positions Uzbekistan’s young talent on a global stage.
Talimy aims to collaborate with ministries, universities, and international organizations to ensure youth research becomes a recognized and valued part of the country’s academic landscape. With ambassadors in more than 15 countries, the project is already expanding beyond Uzbekistan, slowly shaping a regional and eventually global network of young researchers.
Why It Matters
Because research is not a subject, it is a mindset. It helps people become thinkers. Problem-solvers. Innovators. Students who don’t just learn about society, but contribute to it.
The Talimy Research Forum stands for a new belief:
young people are not too early for research, the system is too late in offering it.
And Talimy is here to change that.
