Welcome to my project - 100KZGALYM
During my tenure as the Vice Minister of Science and Higher Education, I had the opportunity to meet Kazakhstani scientists working abroad. Many of our citizens are unaware of these remarkable individuals—professors, lecturers, and researchers contributing to prestigious universities and leading scientific centers around the world. I realized that if young people learned about these scientists and their work, it could inspire and motivate them.
With this in mind, I launched the "100 KZ Scientists Abroad" project to bridge the gap between Kazakhstani scientists at home and those who have achieved significant milestones abroad. This initiative aims to foster collaboration, facilitate joint scientific research, and encourage the exchange of ideas and expertise.
Since the project's inception, I have interviewed more than 20 scientists from different countries and shared their stories on social media platforms. The response from the scientific community and the public has been overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing great interest in learning about the achievements of our scientists abroad.
I hope you enjoy their inspiring stories and recommend a potential inspiring candidates for future collaboration.
Warmest regards Kuanysh
