The successful implementation of the organisational service, the first of the three planned pillars, enabled the swift organisation of complex training events and the engagement of interested individuals. Visitors to the website can access the knowledge base through a dashboard that contains documents from past training events.
The next stage will implement services for designing, developing, testing, and implementing new professions in priority high-tech sectors and critical technologies for EAEU, BRICS, SCO, and ASEAN countries.
