On April 3, 2026, third-year students of the educational program 6В11300 “Logistics (by Industry)” at 91��ý Kazakh National University took part in an off-site educational event organized by the Department of Business Technologies of the Higher School of Economics and Business within the framework of the course “Oil and Gas Logistics.” The program included visits to the Farabi HUB innovation center, the supercomputer complex, as well as the university’s research centers and laboratories.

The event was organized by Nazdana Dzhems-Uatovna Adilova, PhD, Research Associate Professor of the Department of Business Technologies. The main purpose of the off-site class was to broaden the students’ professional outlook and help them develop a comprehensive understanding of the university’s research and innovation infrastructure as an important platform for building modern competencies in the field of logistics.

During their visits to the innovation and research facilities, the students became acquainted with modern digital solutions used in education and research. They also saw how modeling, data analysis, and supercomputing capabilities can be applied to solving practical tasks. This format makes it possible to connect academic knowledge with real technological tools that are increasingly being integrated into transport and industry-specific logistics.

Particular attention was paid to issues directly related to the content of the course “Oil and Gas Logistics.” The students explored the importance of digital modeling of logistics flows, big data analysis in supply chain management, route optimization for energy resource transportation, improved energy efficiency, and carbon footprint reduction. These areas are especially relevant in the context of the digital transformation of the economy and the growing demand for sustainable transport and energy systems.

The visit to Farabi HUB, the supercomputer complex, and the research laboratories enabled the students to gain a fresh perspective on the role of interdisciplinary knowledge, science, and innovation in their future professional careers. For future logistics specialists, this was not merely an introductory tour, but an important step toward understanding that the modern industry requires not only core professional knowledge, but also digital, analytical, and research skills. Today, logistics is no longer only about routes and deliveries; it is also about technology, data, modeling, and strategic thinking.

Such events help strengthen the connection between education, science, and innovation while also addressing the goal of training a new generation of competitive professionals. The initiative is also aligned with the principles of sustainable development, including quality education, the development of innovative infrastructure, and responsible resource management. In addition, it corresponds to the UN Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 4 “Quality Education”,SDG 9 “Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure”, SDG 12 “Responsible Consumption and Production”, and SDG 13 “Climate Action”.
