The "TURK 2025: 1st International Manas Science and Technology Congress" that took place in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, offered a chance to foster scientific collaborations and the development of educational infrastructure.

 The TURK 2025: 1st International Manas Science and Technology Congress, which was organised in collaboration with Atatürk University and Kyrgyzstan-Turkey Manas University, not only facilitated the convergence of the scientific community, but also expanded the educational partnerships between the two brotherly nations.
