The Program

The program, initiated by the Saxon Ministry of Science, Culture and Tourism and administered by TU Bergakademie Freiberg, offers funding for studies in the Republic of Uzbekistan and Mongolia. Financial support gives students the opportunity to take part in mobility programs between a university or a university of applied sciences in Saxony and an Uzbek or Mongolian university.
