Introduction. The relevance of this study is determined by the need to understand and forecast academic and scientific-educational ties between Russia and Uzbekistan in the 21st century. Branches of Russian universities are opening, academic mobility programs are expanding, and joint master’s and doctoral programs are growing. In this context, the educational space serves as a platform not only for knowledge transfer but also for social and cultural interactions, making it an important factor in academic and cultural integration. Methodology. The study uses systems analysis, a comparison of official documents, a review of existing scientific papers on the topic of the article, and case studies. Discussion. Practical forms of cooperation are analyzed: the opening of branches of Russian universities, the expansion of academic mobility programs, joint master’s and doctoral programs, as well as an example of deep industry integration in the medical sector. Based on a systematic document analysis, a review of research, and case studies, we trace key stages of interaction: the establishment of the regulatory framework in the 1990s (including the 1993 and 1995 agreements) and the transition to institutionalizing the partnership in 2018-2024 through a series of bilateral educational forums (Tashkent 2018, Moscow 2021, Samarkand 2023). Conclusion. It is shown that large-scale forums and scientific and educational initiatives contributed to the synchronization of standards, the strengthening of human resources, and the creation of joint research platforms. Conclusions are drawn on the practical significance of further coordination and the development of joint programs for the sustainable strengthening of bilateral ties.
