Summer School for Young Mongolists Begins
On July 31, the annual “Young Mongolists’ Summer School” International Program commenced with an opening ceremony at the Ministry of Education and Science.
“Mongol Studies is one of the most essential fields that Mongolians and the Mongolian State and Government must pay attention,” emphasized Minister of Education and Science L. Enkh-Amgalan in his opening remarks.
Furthermore, the Minister said, "The Mongol Studies should hold considerable significance at the national security level. It is crucial to foster activities in Mongol Studies with the goal of elevating it at international level. Also, it is imperative to develop a comprehensive state policy to support both foreign and national scholars-Mongolists, with particular emphasis on Young Mongolists.”
Over 30 young Mongolists from 13 universities and academic institutions of the leading countries in Mongol Studies, including the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, the Federal Republic of Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the Republic of Türkiye are participating in this year's program.
In recent years as a result of initiatives, studies and research works by Mongolists, young scholars, documents and records of history and culture related to Mongolia and Mongol Studies have been translated from foreign sources into Mongolian. Noting the valuable contribution of Mongolists, the Minister of Education and Science expressed the Ministry’s intention to support young scholars, master's, and doctoral students in Mongolian Studies, finance joint researches, and publish their works through the Science and Technology Fund.
The Ministry aims to organize the "Young Mongolists' Summer School" International Program regularly, not limited to the summer season.
