Shakarim University's "green" projects are at the EXPO site
Kazakh universities presented their large-scale scientific developments in the field of ecology and sustainable development at the RES 2026 EXPO international exhibition of green and sustainable technologies. This was announced on the official website of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
In the framework of the regional environmental summit, the heads of states visited the RES 2026 EXPO international exhibition of green and sustainable technologies. The exhibition presented pavilions that define the main national priorities of countries in the fields of "green" energy, natural resource management and sustainable development.
Sayasat Nurbek, Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, who spoke at the panel session of the summit:
"Development of green technologies and sustainable economy is impossible without powerful science and training of new generation personnel. We are modernizing the education system in accordance with the demands of the economy - we are developing the fields of artificial intelligence, engineering and climate technologies, introducing an industrial PhD program, strengthening international scientific cooperation, and creating a personnel base for energy projects," he noted.
Eight leading higher educational institutions of the country participated in the national exposition of the Republic of Kazakhstan and presented their complex scientific developments aimed at solving environmental and climate problems to the presidents and international delegations of Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
Domestic universities have demonstrated a consistent systematic approach, from basic research to concrete technological solutions, as well as business cases in the "green" economy.
At the exhibition, Shakarim University presented a set of scientific and educational solutions based on the principles of sustainable development. Among them, the Agrosector digital platform, which combines scientific developments, educational resources and practical tools for the field of agro-industry, was presented as the main project.
The mentioned platform enables the transfer of technologies, the analysis of agrarian potential and the improvement of the qualifications of specialists. In addition, it provides effective interaction between science, business and farming community.
University exposure is structured in four main directions:
Green Energy – projects in the field of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency, including experimental facilities and research on adaptation of agricultural crops;
Food Tech – more than ten scientific projects in the direction of food technologies, including innovative and functional dairy products;
Green Tech is a project for the production of secondary resources (metallurgy, oil refining) and "Fito-life" phyto-tea production with high biological value and the potential for promotion within the framework of ecotourism;
Upcycling – circular economy solutions based on reusing resources and turning waste into products with high added value.
In general, the projects presented by the higher educational institutions of the country show the effective integration of science, education and innovation in Kazakhstan.
It is known that ecological direction is an important strategic priority of state policy. Higher educational institutions of the country are becoming leading centers that develop solutions for adaptation to climate change, rational use of natural resources, and formation of a sustainable economy.
Participation of domestic universities in the international exhibition RES 2026 EXPO clearly shows their growing role in international scientific cooperation and their contribution to the promotion of "green" technologies at the global level.
