SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND MODERN DATA: IMPORTANT MEETINGS TODAY

Today, the Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University hosted two insightful meetings dedicated to the potential of modern scientific research and digital technologies.

The first part of today's program featured a practical workshop with the participation of Dr. Ilya N. Zaslavsky (PhD) titled "Online Visual Analytics — A Workshop Using the SuAVE Platform, Including Bibliometric Analysis."

During the workshop, participants gained practical knowledge in visually analyzing scientific information, working with bibliographic data, and exploring the capabilities of the SuAVE platform.

Ilya Zaslavsky represents the University of California, San Diego (USA) and serves as the Director of the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The scientist's high academic metrics and expertise in modern data processing and visual analytics further enriched the content of the meeting.

In the second half of the day, a special meeting took place featuring the Director of SDSC alongside the General Director and specialists from the KazNU Engineering and High-Tech Cluster.

During the meeting, key topics were discussed, including big data infrastructure, rare earth mineral exploration, and agriculture under drought conditions.

Such meetings serve as a vital platform integrating scientific knowledge with modern technology, paving the way for new ideas and collaborative research opportunities.

The Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics is always open to exploring new possibilities at the intersection of science and technology together!
