This initiative follows a memorandum of understanding with Arizona State University (ASU) and Cintana Education from the U.S., which was discussed during a meeting in New York last September. Cintana Education, led by founder and chairman Douglas Becker, will be the U.S. partner responsible for organizing the university’s educational processes and will join the management board to oversee and coordinate AUT’s activities in Tashkent.
