Scientific Research Institute of Experimental and Theoretical Physics
The Institute was founded on April 10, 1992 by order of the Kazakh State National University in accordance with the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the Kazakh SSR dated July 24, 1990 No. 295. May 27, 2003 in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated January 17, 2003 No. 37 Institute was reorganized into a subsidiary state enterprise of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.
SRI ETP is the only scientific center in the Republic of Kazakhstan that carries out research in the field of inertial thermonuclear fusion plasma physics.
Fundamental and applied research at the world level has been carried out at SRI ETP on republican and international grants since the day of its foundation.

Chronology of SRI ETP
- 1992-1993. The first director of the Research Institute of ETF - the former rector of Al-Farabi KazNU, Honorary Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Kozhamkulov T.A., at that time - Dean of the Faculty of Physics of KazSU, on whose initiative the institute was created. Based on the highly qualified scientific potential supported by prestige of science at state level, the SRI ETP managed to preserve and develop scientific schools, which had been formed at the department of physics for years, to reorientate in the new conditions, survive in the transition period, and not only to preserve its structure and scientific staff but also to make qualitative reorganizations by changing the principles of organization and financing according to new requirements.
- In 1993, the acting director was a corresponding member. NAS RK, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Prof. Baimbetov F.B.
- From the middle of 1993 to 1995, the director of the ETP Research Institute was Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Prof. Drobyshev A.S.
- From February 1996 to April 2000, the Institute was headed by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Prof. Tazhibaeva I.L.
- From April to June 2000, Associate Professor Ibraev B.M. acted as director.
- From June 2000 to November 2006, the Institute was headed by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Prof. Ramazanov T.S.
- From November 2006 to the present, the Institute is headed by Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Associate Professor Lavrishchev O.A.
