KazNAIU, together with the Chinese Agrarian University and EAVISION, has opened a Kazakh-Chinese Center for Research and Training on agricultural drone management.
"The main goal of the center is to train students in the management of unmanned aerial vehicles in various sectors of agriculture, as well as to conduct research and introduce new technologies for monitoring, mapping, and environmental studies," Akhylbek Kurishbayev, Chairman of the Board and Rector of KazNAIU, said at the opening of the center.
KazNAIU actively cooperates with more than 40 universities, scientific organizations and companies in China. Only in 2024, international centers and laboratories for training specialists in the field of water management, landscape architecture, veterinary medicine, animal engineering, food safety, etc. will be opened at the university for staff training together with Chinese partners.
