The first "Summer School for Young Turkologists" was organized between June 19-25, 2023 by the International Turkic Academy, the Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA), and Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University.

Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University`s Rector Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan emphasized that the Summer School for Young Turkologists program is necessary for the present day. Rector of the Manas University Prof. Dr. Alpaslan Ceylan said, "With the establishment of the Organization of Turkic States, a new way has been set in motion rapidly. This study, which Kyrgyz-Turkish Manas University has organized with these two distinguished institutions, will be an important step forward for young people. We have been late in researching the Turkic World. Nevertheless, I believe today's young Turkologists will succeed. In this program, held at Manas University, very significant studies will be carried out. This is also a special achievement for the Turkic World."
President of the Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA) Prof. Dr. Muzaffer Sheker said: “We plan such programs as events that will ensure brotherhood, unity and more importantly, reading, understanding, sharing and evaluating the works of authors with scientific values. We aim to keep our common culture alive and transfer it to future generations.”
Also President of the International Turkic Academy Prof. Dr. Shahin Mustafaev said: “The aim of our summer school is to emphasize the importance of Turkology research for Turkic states, the Turkish alphabet, and to create a culture of joint work in the context of these issues. This is also the direct task of the Turkic Academy as an international organization that develops scientific cooperation between Turkic states. We hope this cooperation continues."
