Maqsut Narikbayev University continues to expand its network of international partners. The university has signed cooperation agreements with several universities and research institutes of the Republic of Belarus.
In Minsk, a jubilee meeting of the working commission on coordinating the activities of the Scientific and Educational Consortium between Belarusian and Kazakhstani universities and research institutes took place. The event brought together university leaders, as well as representatives of relevant ministries and diplomatic missions from both countries. During the meeting, participants emphasized that the consortium serves as a driving force for Belarusian–Kazakh educational cooperation and provides a significant platform for discussing joint scientific and technological projects and expanding academic mobility.
A key outcome of the meeting was the decision to expand the membership of the Scientific and Educational Consortium.
MNU’s Deputy Chair of the Board for Science, Innovation, and Artificial Intelligence, Sergey Pen, signed an agreement on MNU’s accession to the consortium and expressed confidence in the prospects for fruitful collaboration in the scientific and educational spheres. In addition, MNU signed bilateral cooperation agreements with the International University “MITSO” and the Vitebsk State University named after P. Masherov.
Today, the consortium includes more than 60 universities and research institutes from Kazakhstan and Belarus. Its mission is to foster the exchange and dissemination of best practices in organizing and conducting research, to promote academic mobility, and to engage scholars, faculty, and students in deeper integration across scientific, educational, and cultural domains. As noted by the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Belarus to Kazakhstan, Aleksey Bogdanov, for the past ten years the consortium has been an effective platform for strengthening academic ties, implementing joint educational programs and research projects, and sharing experience and best practices in higher education and science between the two friendly nations.
It should be recalled that earlier MNU also joined the “China–Central Asia Legal Education Alliance.”
