Online Meeting of the Dean and Deputy Dean with First-Year Doctoral Students

The Dean of the Mechanic-Mathematical Faculty, Nursultan Doszhan, and the Deputy Dean for Scientific-Innovative Activities, and International Cooperation, Rosa Sabirova, held an informative online meeting with first-year doctoral students on the Microsoft Teams platform. This event became an important part of helping new students adapt to academic life and allowed them to gain useful information about the learning process, which is directly related to SDG 4 — ensuring inclusive and quality education.

During the meeting, Dean N.S. Doszhan detailed the key aspects of the doctoral education process. He emphasized the importance of academic supervision and the appointment of foreign scientific supervisors, which opens new horizons for students and fosters international cooperation, reflecting SDG 17 — partnerships for the goals.

Deputy Dean R.F. Sabirova discussed the choice of dissertation research topics, highlighting that the correct choice of topic is fundamental to successful scientific work. This is linked to SDG 9 — fostering innovation and infrastructure, as relevant and in-demand research areas contribute to scientific progress.

Additionally, important aspects of publishing scientific articles were discussed. The Dean and Deputy Dean shared valuable recommendations on preparing and publishing articles in scientific journals, which is an integral part of an academic career. Students learned about publication requirements and how to effectively present their research to a wider audience.

Throughout the discussion, students actively asked questions, contributing to an open and supportive atmosphere. Questions covered both academic aspects and practical recommendations for organizing work time and balancing academic workload.

Such interaction between the faculty leadership and doctoral students not only helps new students better understand the upcoming challenges and opportunities in their academic pursuits but also fosters an atmosphere of collaboration and support. Dean N.S. Doszhan and Deputy Dean R.F. Sabirova expressed confidence that each student would be able to contribute to the advancement of science and successfully navigate the doctoral journey.

Future meetings of this kind are planned, which will help strengthen the connections between students and faculty members, as well as create a productive and inspiring educational environment within the faculty.
