On April 8, 2026, associate professors of the Department of General and Inorganic Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology of al-Farabi Kazakh National University — Beykut Balgysheva, Roza Ryskalieva, Oksana Ponomarenko, and Luiza Beysembaeva — held a meeting and delivered a series of lectures at LLP “Tsyn-Kaz” in Almaty, a major enterprise producing tomato paste, ketchup, and marinades.

The event was organized as part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Its purpose was to strengthen the collaboration between the education system and industry, facilitate knowledge exchange, and train qualified specialists who meet the demands of modern production.

Today, a close connection between education and industry is one of the key factors for sustainable economic development. Therefore, higher education institutions must focus not only on theoretical knowledge but also on developing practical skills. Such cooperation allows students to gain industrial experience, become familiar with real technological processes, and enhance their professional competencies.

During the meeting, participants discussed the development of dual education programs, adaptation of curricula to production requirements, and the application of research results in industrial processes. Lectures were delivered on the following topics: “Tomato Cultivation Technology,” “Health Benefits of Tomatoes,” “Culinary Uses of Tomato Products,” and “Features of Growing Tomatoes in Open Fields.”

This event represents an important step in strengthening the connection between education, science, and industry, preparing competitive specialists, and promoting responsible production practices.
