At the Faculty of Physics and Technology of 91��ý Kazakh National University in Almaty, the official closing ceremony of the annual International Scientific Conference of Students and Young Scientists “Farabi Alemi” was held. The event marked the conclusion of the conference, during which the results of the scientific sessions were summarized, section winners were identified, and the most significant achievements of participants were recognized.

The conference was organized across nine scientific tracks reflecting key areas of contemporary physics and engineering: theoretical physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics and nanomaterials science, thermal physics and theoretical heat engineering, radiophysics and electronics, astronomy, energy and energy efficiency, standardization, certification and metrology, plasma physics and nanotechnology, as well as educational technologies in physics. Traditionally, the working languages of the conference were Kazakh, Russian, and English, ensuring a high level of academic communication and international engagement.

According to the presented data, 313 young researchers participated in the conference this year, demonstrating a steady increase in interest in scientific activity and a high level of youth engagement in research processes. An important component of the program was the roundtable discussion entitled “Current Challenges in Training Teaching Staff in Physics and Technology: Strategy for the Development of Physics Teaching Methodology in Secondary, Technical, Vocational, and Higher Education within the Transition towards University 5.0.” The session facilitated discussions on modern approaches to specialist training and the advancement of educational technologies.

Based on the outcomes of the sectional sessions, the winners were determined. In the “Theoretical Physics” section, first place was awarded to Sholekenova Arai Burkutkyzy, a fourth-year undergraduate student in the “Physics” educational program. In the “Nuclear Physics” section, the winner was Artykbay Yernar Bekbolatuly, a fourth-year undergraduate student in the “Nuclear Physics” program. In the “Condensed Matter Physics and Nanomaterials Science” section, the top award was given to Krivonogova Arina Yuryevna, a fourth-year undergraduate student in the “Materials Science and Technology of New Materials” program.

In the “Thermal Physics and Theoretical Heat Engineering” section, the winner was Ashibayev Arystan Chingizovich, a first-year master’s student in the “Technical Physics” program. In the “Radiophysics and Electronics. Astronomy” section, several winners were recognized: Abdizhalilova Lazzat Bakhtiyarkyzy, Nurmakhametova Shakhida Tashmakhometovna, and Sakan Aknur Berikzhankyzy, all second-year master’s students in the respective educational programs. In the “Energy and Energy Efficiency” section, the winner was Usimbek Zhandos, a second-year undergraduate student in the “Energy Systems and Renewable Energy” program.

In the “Standardization, Certification and Metrology” section, the winner was Kuldambayeva Bibinur Zheniskyzy, a fourth-year undergraduate student. In the “Plasma Physics and Nanotechnology” section, the top award went to Onaybergenov Zhanserik Yerboluly, a fourth-year undergraduate student in the “Physics and Nanotechnology” program. In the “Educational Technologies in Physics” section, the winner was Shamshidin Onal Melisbekkyzy, a second-year master’s student in the “Physics (Education)” program.

By decision of the jury, the diplomas were awarded as follows: the first-degree diploma was granted to Krivonogova Arina Yuryevna, the second-degree diploma to Sholekenova Arai Burkutkyzy, and the third-degree diploma to Sakan Aknur Berikzhankyzy. During the official closing ceremony, winners were presented with certificates, as well as commemorative prizes from the Department of Science featuring the University’s branding, including pens, notebooks, T-shirts, and hats. In addition, branded notebooks and backpacks were specially prepared for the winners. It was also noted that the award and prizes for Krivonogova Arina Yuryevna will be personally presented by the Rector of the University.

The organization of the “Farabi Alemi” conference 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 through the development of students’ research competencies and promotes the advancement of innovative scientific solutions in physics, engineering, and technology.

Thus, the conclusion of the conference once again confirmed the high level of scientific activity among students and young researchers of the Faculty of Physics and Technology, demonstrated broad participation, and reinforced the faculty’s position as a significant academic platform for addressing contemporary scientific challenges. The event made a substantial contribution to the development of research culture, academic communication, and the support of talented youth, while the award ceremony became an important mechanism for recognizing participants’ achievements and encouraging their further professional growth.
