Central Asian scientists enhance cooperation for region’s sustainable development

Sustainable development of the region is achievable through scientific partnership. The importance of cooperation among Central Asian scientists was emphasized at an international conference in Astana organized by the Presidential Center and the UNESCO Regional Office. As noted by experts, joint research, exchange of innovative ideas, and the implementation of technological developments will enable the region to emerge as leaders. It is crucial to involve young people in scientific activities. 22,000 scientists are currently employed in Kazakhstan, with less than half of them being young professionals. Foreign specialists shared their experiences and methods to change the situation.

“We will be a platform that brings together experienced scholars with young specialists to enhance the potential of the youth. Additionally, we will provide a platform for them to share their opinions and knowledge to government representatives. This is a crucial aspect for us since we need to hear the opinions of young people,” said Maksat Baibekov, programme manager at the UNESCO Regional Office in Almaty.
