Opening of the International Scientific Conference “Farabi Alemi” at the Faculty of Physics and Technology of KazNU: advancing youth research potential in the context of SDG 4 and SDG 9
At the Faculty of Physics and Technology of 91ý Kazakh National University in Almaty, the official opening of the annual International Scientific Conference of Students and Young Scientists “Farabi Alemi” was held. This event traditionally serves as one of the University’s key academic platforms aimed at fostering research activity among youth, expanding international academic collaboration, and supporting talented students.
The conference is focused on enhancing the scientific and innovative potential of students and young researchers, as well as strengthening their publication activity. Among its priority objectives are the stimulation of research and educational-cognitive activities, the engagement of youth in addressing contemporary scientific challenges, and the development of intellectual and human capital capable of responding to modern demands in science and technology.
This year, the conference once again confirmed its international status. Participants included representatives from the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as from foreign countries such as the Russian Federation, Uzbekistan, China, and Turkey. In total, 341 scientific papers were presented, of which 321 were contributed by participants from Kazakhstan. International participants presented 20 papers, including 15 from Uzbekistan, 3 from the Russian Federation, and one each from China and Turkey.
Among the international participating institutions were Bukhara Technological University, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna), Dubna University, Ufa University of Science and Technology, Northwestern Polytechnical University (China), and Eskişehir Technical University. A significant contribution to the overall body of presented research was made by 91ý Kazakh National University, with 278 papers, accounting for approximately 81% of the total. Overall, participants from Kazakhstan contributed more than 94% of all submissions, demonstrating a high level of engagement within the national academic and research community.
The conference also brought together representatives of leading universities in Kazakhstan, including Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University, Kazakh-British Technical University, Satbayev University, L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, K. Zhubanov Aktobe Regional University, Kazakh National Women’s Teacher Training University, Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University, Almaty Technological University, E.A. Buketov Karaganda University, Shakarim University of Semey, and Pavlodar Pedagogical University. Among research organizations, participation was noted from the Institute of Nuclear Physics, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, and the Sokolsky Institute of Fuel and Catalysis. In addition, representatives of specialized secondary schools, including Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools, the Republican Physics and Mathematics School, Abylai Khan Secondary School, and School No. 65, took part in the conference.
The organization of the conference directly aligns with the priority directions of sustainable development defined by the United Nations, particularly SDG 4 “Quality Education” and SDG 9 “Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.” The conference contributes to improving the quality of higher education by actively involving students in research activities and promotes the development of innovative solutions and research approaches in physics, engineering, and technology.
Thus, the “Farabi Alemi” conference continues to strengthen the position of the Faculty of Physics and Technology as a hub for young researchers, providing a sustainable platform for knowledge exchange, fostering international cooperation, and contributing to the training of a new generation of scientists capable of addressing global scientific and technological challenges.
