Today, we had a productive meeting with the Director of the Kyrgyz Mining and Metallurgical Institute named after Academician O. Asanaliev at the Kyrgyz State Technical University named after I. Razzakov, Mr. Arstanbek Raimbekovich Abdiev. 🤝 The agenda focused on key issues related to the development of science, personnel training, and strengthening international cooperation in the mining and metallurgy industry.
Key Discussion Points:
- Defense of doctoral dissertations in the “Mining Engineering” educational program, with a focus on improving the quality of scientific research and the relevance of developments. Over the past 5 years, the number of successfully defended dissertations in this program in Kyrgyzstan has increased by 30%, reflecting the dynamic development of the sector.
Development of science and innovation. Joint scientific projects aimed at exploring innovative solutions to improve the efficiency of mineral extraction and processing were discussed. For example, projects in the field of geomechanics.
Academic cooperation. Special attention was given to the collaboration between the Department of Development of mineral deposits and the Kyrgyz Mining and Metallurgical Institute. Planned initiatives include:
- Joint scientific research
- Development of joint degree programs
- Organization of academic exchanges for faculty and students
Link between science and industry. The importance of technology transfer and the application of scientific research results in production was emphasized. Specifically, the creation of educational-production platforms based on major enterprises in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan was discussed.
Why is this important?
The mining and metallurgy sector is one of the key industries for the economies of our countries. In Kyrgyzstan, it accounts for more than 20% of GDP, and mineral exports make up about 40% of total exports. The collaboration between universities and scientific institutes will not only improve the quality of education but also foster new solutions for the industry.
By combining the efforts of science, education, and industry, we are laying a solid foundation for sustainable development and reaching new heights!
