On October 30, 2026, As part of the VI Forum of Scientists from the Member States of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), held at the National Academy of Sciences under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, an international delegation visited Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.

Organized in Kazakhstan for the first time, the international forum brought together heads of academies of sciences, leading researchers, and representatives of research institutes and higher education institutions from eight countries. The event served as an important platform for strengthening international scientific cooperation, exchanging expertise, and discussing prospects for the development of science and innovative technologies.

During the visit, the delegation members learned about the university’s research activities, scientific potential, and key areas of technological development. Particular attention was given to the work of the China–Kazakhstan Joint Laboratory for «Remote Sensing Technology and Application».

The guests were introduced to the laboratory’s main research areas, which include the application of Earth observation technologies, geographic information systems (GIS), and advanced satellite data processing methods to address current scientific and practical challenges.

The visit provided an opportunity to showcase the outcomes of scientific and technological cooperation between Kazakhstan and China and to discuss prospects for expanding international collaboration in geospatial technologies, environmental monitoring, and the sustainable use of natural resources.

Such meetings contribute to strengthening scientific ties among CIS countries, promoting inter-university cooperation, and creating new opportunities for joint research projects.
