Final of national Qazdatathon competition held in Astana

The final round of the national Qazdatathon competition took place in Astana. This year’s data analytics competition attracted a record number of participants — 42 teams, 10 of which advanced to the finals. The projects covered a wide range of socioeconomic indicators, including one that examined how effective time management influences citizens’ quality of life.


«After receiving pre-prepared data, our programs conduct statistical analysis. There are specific models and calculations used in the social sciences, and by applying them, we can draw accurate, well-founded conclusions,» said Sanzhar Kalkanbai, research fellow at Maqsut Narikbayev University.

The winners of this year’s Qazdatathon received cash prizes from an impressive prize fund, along with a grant to study at the School of Sociologists.
