FOSTERING UNITY THROUGH INNOVATION: THE ROLE OF INTEGRATION TOOLS IN ENHANCING COLLABORATIVE SCIENTIFIC ENDEAVORS WITHIN THE SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION

Аннотация

The expansion of integration tools within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) presents a robust framework to improve collaboration efforts between member nations in scientific and innovative domains. In the current interconnected world, countries face more and more complex challenges that transcend national borders, which requires cooperative approaches for problem solving. The SCO, with its diverse membership in Central Asia, South Asia and beyond, is positioned exclusively to take advantage of collective scientific abilities to address these shared problems. As Alimov (2018) pointed out, the mechanisms of the organization for scientific exchange and cooperation are becoming increasingly critical, especially in a global context marked by the rapid technological advance and socioeconomic transformation.
