Seminar on Preparing Applications for the “Zhas Galym” Competition Held at the Faculty

On September 18, 2026, the Faculty of Geography and Environmental Sciences of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University held a seminar dedicated to the preparation of applications for the “Zhas Galym” grant funding competition for young scientists for 2027-2029.
 

The seminar speaker was Azamat Yershibulov, PhD, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Geography, Land Management and Cadastre.

The event was attended by faculty members, young researchers, and doctoral students of the Faculty.

During the seminar, the main stages of preparing a competitive grant application were discussed, including defining the scientific problem and research gap, formulating the project goal and objectives, selecting an appropriate research methodology, and planning measurable expected results and a publication trajectory. Particular attention was paid to ensuring consistency between the project objectives, research methods, expected results, and budget.

The participants also received practical recommendations on checking the application for compliance with the competition requirements and preventing common mistakes during the preparation process.

The seminar also covered such issues as substantiating the scientific novelty of the project, describing the research environment, planning publication outcomes, and preparing the project timeline and financial justification.

The seminar provided a platform for discussing project ideas and exchanging practical recommendations on the preparation of high-quality research proposals. Such events contribute to increasing the grant activity of Faculty researchers, developing research project design skills, and engaging young scientists and doctoral students in promising scientific research.
