Due to the programme, our partners visited “Etikod” Furniture Enterprise and observed wooden houses built on the outskirts of the city, energy-efficient approaches in construction and improve quality efficiency methods in building houses that meet the requirements of local people. A particular attention was paid to conduct project-related research in terms of combination of traditional and modern methods used in the construction of houses.

Their was organized a visit to Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Civil Engineering. By partners there were shared presentations on a number of activities carried out at our university and there were discussed in detail the tasks for near future. Taking into account the global climate change, there were discussed the ways of conducting experiments on wood, filling the surveys   within the framework of research. Every month, within VEGERA project, funded by the German government, zoom meetings and discussions are being held in cooperation with project members.
