Faculty members and students of the Department of Turkology and Language Theory, Faculty of Philology, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, hosted a scientific and educational seminar titled "The Contribution of Women Scientists to the Development of Turkology and Linguistics" under SDG 5: "Gender Equality." Designed to boost students' research engagement and support their professional and civic adaptation, this event was seamlessly integrated with an academic initiative aiming to put UN Sustainable Development Goal 5  "Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls"  into practice.

     The core concept of the event was built upon the principle "Equality in science is the key to societal progress," receiving broad support across the student and academic community. During the seminar, participants reviewed the academic legacy of distinguished women scholars who made fundamental contributions to national and global Turkic and general linguistics, highlighting their fundamental research and scientific discoveries.

     The open and educational atmosphere cultivated under the motto "Scientific heritage is a treasure of knowledge" fostered mutual respect, academic curiosity, and peer solidarity among students. This platform provides every student in the humanities with an opportunity to master modern research trends, express their views freely, and define their future professional pathways.

    The students demonstrated commendable organizational capability and high civic responsibility. Their proactive engagement, teamwork, and initiative clearly reflected how university education shapes conscious, value-driven individuals alongside professional expertise. Their involvement demonstrated genuine respect for scientific heritage and a high level of campus academic culture.

    This seminar not only evaluated students' academic understanding but also strengthened social and scientific cohesion, serving as a compelling example of practical Sustainable Development Goals implementation at the university level.
