Opening of the International Scientific Conference “FARABI ÁLEMI” for Students and Young Researchers at the Faculty of Physics and Technology. SDG 9 and SDG 4

On April 3, 2025, the Faculty of Physics and Technology of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University hosted the ceremonial opening of the section of the International Scientific Conference of Students and Young Scientists “FARABI ÁLEMI”.

The conference brought together students, master’s students, and young researchers under the age of 35 from various universities in Kazakhstan and abroad. Within the physics and technology section, 313 scientific papers were accepted, covering cutting-edge research in physics, engineering, energy, ecology, and digital technologies—all closely aligned with the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

• SDG 9 – Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation;
• SDG 4 – Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all.

The conference included the following areas:

• Theoretical Physics
• Nuclear Physics
• Condensed Matter Physics and Nanomaterials
• Thermal Physics and Theoretical Heat Engineering
• Radiophysics and Electronics. Astronomy
• Energy and Energy Efficiency
• Standardization, Certification and Metrology
• Plasma Physics and Nanotechnology
• Educational Technologies in Physics

The greatest interest was shown in the section "Radiophysics and Electronics. Astronomy", which received 53 submissions. This reflects the growing attention to issues of digitalization, telecommunications, space technologies, and astrophysical research.

The Organizing Committee expresses its sincere gratitude to all participants for the high level of their scientific contributions and active engagement with the sustainable development agenda. The conference will continue throughout the week in a blended format. Upon completion, a collection of scientific papers will be published with references to relevant SDGs.
