The University of Central Asia (UCA) was founded in 2000. The presidents of Tajikistan, the Kyrgyz Republic and Kazakhstan and His Highness the Aga Khan signed the International Treaty and Charter establishing this secular, not-for-profit, private university that was ratified by the respective parliaments and registered with the United Nations. UCA was established to offer an internationally recognised standard of higher education in Central Asia and prepare graduates to contribute leadership, ideas and innovation to the economies and communities of the region. UCA’s mission is to foster the socio-economic development of Central Asia, particularly its mountain societies, while helping the peoples of the region preserve and draw upon their rich cultural heritages as assets for the future. The university is advancing construction of three campuses in Khorog, Tajikistan; Naryn, Kyrgyz Republic; and Tekeli, Kazakhstan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ucentralasia.org/about.asp )〕 In the meantime, several UCA initiatives offer professional training and research opportunities and resources. These include the School of Professional and Continuing Education, the Institute of Public Policy and Administration, the Mountain Societies Research Institute, the Cultural Heritage and Humanities Unit, the Central Asian Faculty Development Programme and the Aga Khan Humanities Project. The university brings with it the commitment and partnership of the Aga Khan Development Network. For more information on UCA, please visit (www.ucentralasia.org ). Currently, the director general of UCA is in charge of operations and planning at the Central Administration office in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic. ==Campuses and facilities== UCA is constructing three campuses in Khorog, Tajikistan; Naryn, the Kyrgyz Republic; and Tekeli, Kazakhstan;〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ucentralasia.org/cfd.asp )〕 — creating one of Central Asia’s largest and most ambitious construction projects with the expertise of internationally renowned architects and designers. The three campuses, hosting academic, administrative, residential, library, cultural and athletic facilities, will occupy between 280,000 and 300,000 square meters divided equally across the campuses and will accommodate a residential population of almost 4000 students, faculty and staff. Parklands will surround each UCA campus and will be open to the general public. The campuses are being planned by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki. Site designs and university parks are being developed by Sasaki Associates of Watertown, Massachusetts, USA. Until the campuses are built, research and other preparations are being carried out in offices in larger cities. For example, the Kyrgyzstan office is in Bishkek. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Central Asia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
