THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL SESSION ON SOLVING THE PROBLEMS OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR WAS HELD IN PETROPAVLOVSK
The Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, JSC "Science Foundation" and Kozybayev University organized a scientific and technological session on the development of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex of Northern and Central Kazakhstan.
This year's seventh scientific and technological session brought together regional agricultural scientists, experts, representatives of agricultural enterprises, partners from Germany and China at Kozybayev University to solve key tasks and introduce innovations in the agro-industry.
"Scientific and technological sessions, held on behalf of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan O.A.Bektenov, given at the Higher Scientific and Technical Commission, are a strategic tool for achieving several key goals of national importance. Firstly, they help to develop new mechanisms for the formation of priority areas for the development of scientific and technical activities. Secondly, scientific and technological sessions make it possible to effectively address specific requests and needs of the real economy, creating a platform where scientists and production workers work together to create innovative solutions. Of particular importance is that such a format of interaction improves cooperation between science and business, contributing to the promotion of commercialization projects for the production of new, export-oriented products. This is exactly the result that is necessary to strengthen the competitiveness of the Kazakh economy in the international arena," said Darkhan Ahmed-Zaki, Vice Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
It was also noted that the North Kazakhstan region has potential and the university is its scientific and academic center.
"This is a very important event for us, given the industry specifics of the region. The Ministry has taken the initiative to bring together science, production workers and experts. First of all, this is necessary, because now technologies are rapidly developing in agriculture. There are many enterprises that want to improve their technologies, productivity, and form organic approaches to farming. Undoubtedly, this cannot be done without science and new breakthrough research. Therefore, today's task is to identify the problems of those companies that are directly involved in the production of agricultural products and find a solution together with scientists. We are very grateful that scientists from China, the USA, and Germany are present here today, among others. This is a productive platform for joint networking, discussions and getting a good result," said Chairman of the Board -Rector Yerbol Isakaev.
