Abylkas Saginov Karaganda Technical University became a platform for dialogue between representatives of the European Union embassies and the leadership of the Karaganda region.
At the meeting, the Kazakh side was represented by the governor of the Karaganda region Ermaganbet Bulekpayev, the deputy governors of the Karaganda region Ermek Alpysov and Alibek Aldeney, the chairman of the Board – Rector of Abylkas Saginov Karaganda Technical University Saule Sagintayeva, members of the Board – vice-rectors of the university and others.
– In the region, as the governor of the region noted, projects with the participation of European companies are being successfully implemented. This includes the production of Böhmer fittings, pre-insulated pipes Izoplus Central Asia, technical gases «Linde Gas Kazakhstan», and the solar power plant «Solarnet». These examples show that there are mutual interests, and the experience of such cooperation can be expanded. – We are interested in new investments, technological partnerships and applied research projects, – emphasized Yermaganbet Bulekpayev.
Also, during the visit, the delegation was presented with an exhibition of scientific and innovative projects of Saginov Technical University, covering various sectors of energy, transport, mechanical engineering, mining and others.
The parties exchanged views on current issues of interaction and outlined key areas for further partnership. The university management expressed readiness to expand cooperation with European partners and emphasized the importance of such meetings for strengthening international ties and integration into the global educational and scientific space.
The main purpose of the visit of the representatives of the EU embassies was to honor the memory of the innocent victims together with the public of the region. Thus, in Karaganda there are several monuments to the victims of political repression and famine. One of the most significant is Spassky Memorial Complex. May 31 has been declared the Day of remembrance of victims of political repression in Kazakhstan. In this regard, memorial events have been held everywhere – memory lessons in educational institutions, rallies with the laying of flowers and wreaths at monuments to the repressed.
In turn, the guests gave examples of successful partnership and expressed interest in opening new horizons for cooperation. There is a huge potential for cooperation in almost all areas, both with Kazakhstan as a whole and with the Karaganda region.
Our university, as one of the leading technical universities in the country, makes a worthy contribution to the common cause. It is no coincidence that the innovative industrial hub «Kartech» is being formed on its basis, where efforts to implement modern technologies and develop applied science will be concentrated.
