A meeting was held at The L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University between ENU scientists and representatives of the Akimat of Astana. The main purpose of the meeting is to present scientific projects developed by the university and discuss the possibilities of their joint implementation with city structures.

During the event, ENU’s leading scientists presented the results of their research and proposals in the fields of investment, economics, digitalization, energy, culture, language, education, religion, transport, housing and communal services, construction and ecology. Their reports were aimed at socio-economic development and included innovative solutions to pressing problems.

Special attention was drawn to such projects as:

"Monitoring the Food Security of Regions, Cities, Districts and Settlements Using Artificial Intelligence Methods"; "Financial Mechanisms for the Sustainable Development of Astana: ESG Direction"; "Religion, Memory and Rehabilitation: a Three-Pronged Scientific and Practical Initiative for Astana city"; "Digitalization of the Meat Supply Chain", etc.

Vice Rector for Science and Commercialization Zhanna Kurmangaliyeva stressed the need to strengthen cooperation between the university and the Akimat:

"Science and technology is a strategically important issue for all states. In this regard, we must develop cooperation between science, business and production. Last year, amendments to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Science and Technology Policy” provided the executive authorities with the opportunity to set a budget for research and development. One of the key directions of our development program is effective cooperation with Akimat of Astana. We are confident that thanks to this, the city's infrastructure will be able to get concrete results from the developments of our scientists. ENU is always ready for partnership aimed at common development," Vice Rector said.

At the end of the meeting, the parties discussed the prospects for the development of joint scientific projects and the application of scientific results in practice.
