The UWED WTO Chair implements three main activities:

• Transferring advanced knowledge on the WTO and international trade to the Uzbek audience through updating existing courses, implementing new courses, and organizing an annual short summer training course for practitioners at the UWED;

• Increasing research capacity in the field of WTO standards and WTO law by leading specific research, providing methodological support to young researchers, and concentrating human resources by increasing connectivity among researchers from various disciplines;

• Fostering dialogue among academics, policymakers, public servants, and civil society institutions by encouraging open debate, discussion, and reflection on international trade and WTO issues and disseminating information to the public at large through a variety of events.

The purpose of these events is to develop proposals to maximize the benefits and minimize the possible negative consequences of membership. The special purpose of the project is to study the experience of Uzbekistan's accession to the WTO, modeling the assessment of the impact of Uzbekistan's accession to the WTO on the national economy and its legal system.
In December 2021, the University of World Economy and Diplomacy became one of 17 new institutions elected to the WTO Presidency network, which currently unites 36 universities around the world. The WTO Department of the University of World Economy and Diplomacy in Uzbekistan is the first and only one in Central Asia and aims to strengthen knowledge and understanding among representatives of academia and government officials of the WTO legal system through the development of curricula, research and awareness–raising activities.
The project is designed for four years (2021-2024).
