- joint research and development projects;

- creation of laboratories, research, and engineering centers;

Guests also expressed readiness for further cooperation.

“From what I have seen, among regional universities this is one of the best — both in terms of facilities and the work carried out by students and faculty in laboratories. One of the great advantages of your university is its close cooperation with regional agricultural producers and medical organizations, truly contributing to the development of North Kazakhstan Region. We are ready to study this experience and implement certain elements at our place. We hope to strengthen our friendly relations further and take additional steps so that students can visit each other. We even discussed the concept of educational tourism, which is very interesting for both sides,” said Andrey Kocherov.
