WE ARE EXPANDING THE HORIZONS OF ACADEMIC COOPERATION

The Kozybayev University delegation continues its official visit to the University of Arizona, which is an important step in strengthening the strategic partnership between the two universities.

A meeting was held with the newly appointed President of the University of Arizona Suresh Garimella. On behalf of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Sayasat Nurbek, warm congratulations were conveyed on the appointment of Dr. Garimella to the post of President and the wish for the successful implementation of all tasks.

The meeting highlighted the high level of trust between the two universities and the shared commitment to developing a long-term partnership. During the conversation, key areas of further cooperation were discussed: the launch of new double degree educational programs, the development of joint scientific initiatives, as well as the deepening of academic exchange between teachers and students. Special attention was paid to biotechnology and agricultural research, areas where initial results have already been achieved and a solid foundation has been laid for new projects.

The historical aspect of this cooperation was also highlighted.: This is the first strategic partnership with a foreign university, which was launched in Kazakhstan, directly on behalf of the Head of State. In addition, the initiatives of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the development of higher education and scientific research, improvement of educational programs that meet international standards, and the transformation of Kazakhstan into a leading educational hub in Central Asia were presented.

President Garimella highly appreciated the level of cooperation between the universities, emphasizing the importance of the diverse nature of the partnership, which includes not only the launch of new programs, but also the active development of joint scientific research. He expressed confidence that cooperation with Kozybayev University will continue to bring significant results both for both sides and for the international scientific community.

An important symbol of the partnership development is the fact that the meeting with the new President was the first among the microcampuses opened by the University of Arizona around the world. Dr. Garimella noted that our microcampus is one of the most dynamically developing among all. As you can see, the cooperation between Kozybayev University and the University of Arizona is reaching a new level, opening up wide horizons for scientific and educational development in the interests of Kazakhstan and the global community!
