President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who was on a working trip to Almaty, inspected the renovated building of the National Academy of Sciences “Gylym Ordasy” and held a meeting with the scientific community. During the meeting held in the Galym ordasy building, Head of State Tokayev pointed out that the building was a place of work for many prominent people of science, whose names are written in the history of the country.

One of such eminent representatives of our nation was academician Kanysh Satbayev. This year marks his 125th anniversary. Satbayev contributed greatly to the development of our country. His scientific discoveries are used for the benefit of people to date… We live in the time of science and education. For the sake of prosperity of our nation we need to attach special attention to the development of these spheres. There is no other option, said Tokayev.

The Head of State also drew attention to the fact that the funds funneled in science constantly grow. The number of grants for training qualified personnel has risen one and a half times over the past few years.

There are 12 branches of the world’s prestigious universities in Kazakhstan. A few more branches are to be opened soon. The number of universities conducting scientific studies is on the rise. Technological parks and engineering centers are being opened. 500 scholars undergo internships abroad each year. The Ministry allocates thousands of grants to young scholars. I’m convinced that all this will positively impact the development of science, said Tokayev.
