Nazarbayev University will host the Symposium on Research Outcomes under SATREPS on 22 September 2026, bringing together researchers and academic representatives from Japan and Kazakhstan to present the outcomes of collaborative research and explore opportunities for further cooperation in the mining sector.
The symposium will be held jointly with professors and researchers from the School of Engineering at Nazarbayev University, providing a platform for researchers from both countries to exchange knowledge, discuss research findings, and identify opportunities for future academic and technological collaboration.
The event is organised within the framework of SATREPS (Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development), an international joint research programme that promotes research partnerships between Japanese research institutions and institutions in partner countries. The programme supports collaborative research addressing development challenges and contributes to the advancement of science, technology, and human resource development.
Research Outcomes and Knowledge Exchange:
The main programme will feature presentations of research outcomes from studies conducted under SATREPS, highlighting research achievements, technological developments, and practical applications relevant to the mining sector. The symposium aims to facilitate dialogue between researchers and academic experts from Japan and Kazakhstan, encouraging the exchange of expertise and strengthening connections between research institutions and universities.
A key objective of the event is to accelerate collaboration between Japan and Kazakhstan in the mining sector. Discussions will focus on opportunities to advance technological cooperation, strengthen research partnerships, and support the development of education and human resources in mining and related engineering fields.
Strengthening Cooperation in Mining and Education:
Through the exchange of research outcomes and expertise, the symposium is expected to contribute to deeper technological cooperation between Japan and Kazakhstan. It will also provide opportunities to explore future collaboration in education, research, and human resource development, supporting the development of specialised expertise within Kazakhstan’s mining sector.
The event reflects Nazarbayev University’s commitment to fostering international research partnerships and creating opportunities for collaboration between academia, research institutions, and industry. Through engagement with Japanese partners and the exchange of knowledge and technology, the symposium will contribute to strengthening long-term cooperation between Kazakhstan and Japan in mining and engineering.
The Symposium on Research Outcomes under SATREPS will provide an opportunity to highlight the results of international collaborative research while fostering new connections and future avenues for cooperation between Japan and Kazakhstan in mining, engineering, education, and human resource development.
