Annual symposium series of Young Turkmen Scholars is an important event organized by the Organization of Turkmen Scholars. The main theme of the symposiums are presentations by Turkmen scholars from around the world about their scholarly work. In addition, several discussion sessions are held where novel future projects and prospects under the main goal of advancing science and technology in Turkmenistan are discussed. Some of the presentations and proceedings in this symposium are published in national Turkmen journals and newspapers.
The Organization of Turkmen Scholars held its first symposium in 2007 in Dallas (TX). This symposium was a great success and received high praises from Turkmen officials, as well as Turkmen national media. The second symposium was held in 2008 in Houston (TX) at a broader scale with at least 3 times as many participants. We anticipate that this symposium series will become a tradition and a symbol of excellence in Turkmen science.
