In addition to this, the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan

basis for the development of research and innovation activity” on 09.03.2020 [7].
It is known that president Sh.Mirziyoev announced the year 2020 - “Year of 
Science, Enlightenment and development of the Digital Economy in Uzbekistan”. 
The mechanism for allocating targeted grant funds for fundamental and innovative 
research in science has also been radically revised. It is worthwhile to recall an 
incident here that when president Sh.Mirziyoev was elected he met firstly with 
Uzbekistan’s leader scientists on 30.12.2016. This event was a new step of science 
development in Uzbekistan. 
Of course, above initiatives cover all individuals, namely men and women. In 
the period of last years the number of women scientists increased, especially in the 
areas of complex science in Uzbekistan. The Ministry of Innovative Development 
has taken the initiative to support women scientists. It is clear proof of this that the 
Ministry of Innovative Development last year announced the competition of projects

“Grants for women scientists”[8]. The main purposes of the competition were 
widely attracting of women to science in our republic, supporting idea and 
developments of women who are engaging with science-education and scientific 
activity in various sectors and areas of the economy, creation of science-intensive 
products and innovative technologies.
It is relevance issue that to increase the participation of women in science 
areas in the Uzbekistan. In this regard every year regular various competitions, 
projects, and grants are announced by our government and Uzbekistan’s higher 
education organizations are becoming advance than other organizations with its 
initiatives in the country. Women with Phd and DSc are rising significantly in every 
year; moreover plenty of women are studying their doctorate studies in the abroad. 
According to the Decree of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On approval the concept of 
development of science until 2030” - PhD or DSc degrees which are obtained in 
higher education institutions in overseas, which occupy one of the first 300 places 
in the international rankings, are directly recognized as DSc in the Republic of 
Uzbekistan. This is great importance in attracting Uzbek women to science and 
motivating women scientists to engage in science with diligence. 
Enhancement the participation of women in science and supporting of women 
scientists are the international issues in nowadays. According to UNESCO Institute 
of statistics the share of female researchers (based on available data only) for 2017 
are 30.0% for World, 48.5% for central Asia, and 30.1-45.0% for Uzbekistan. 
Overall, women account for a minority of the world’s researchers. Despite the 
growing demand for cross-nationally-comparable statistics on women in science, 
national data and their use in policymaking often remain limited. This fact sheet 
presents global and regional profiles, pinpointing where women thrive in this sector 
and where they are under-represented [9].
