Kazakhstan’s Deputy Prime Minister – Minister of AI and Digital Development Zhaslan Madiyev and Minister of Science and Higher Education Sayasat Nurbek attended the signing ceremonies.
One of the important thing outcomes of the go to turned the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between the Serikbayev East Kazakhstan Technical University, KU Leuven, SIM² – KU Leuven Institute for Sustainable Metals and Minerals and Astana Hub autonomous cluster fund.
The events intend to use AI for modeling metallurgical processes, analyzing geological and manufacturing knowledge, predicting the properties of latest supplies, and optimizing technological chains for processing crucial uncooked supplies. This method will speed up scientific analysis and shorten the trail from laboratory developments to industrial implementation.
The memorandum gives for joint analysis within the discipline of sustainable mining, processing and recycling of crucial supplies, industrial digitalization, tutorial mobility, implementation of worldwide tasks, conferences, summer season faculties, and know-how switch.
The settlement develops cooperation initiated inside the TiBrerium undertaking of the Horizon Europe program, which introduced collectively European and Kazakhstani organizations within the discipline of crucial uncooked supplies and sustainable applied sciences. For Kazakhstan, this opens alternatives to transfer from uncooked materials exports to the joint creation of data, applied sciences, and excessive value-added merchandise.
An necessary end result was the signing of a memorandum of understanding and cooperation between the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and Ghent University.
The memorandum is aimed at creating arithmetic as the elemental foundation of synthetic intelligence, mathematical modeling, and engineering computations. The central component of the settlement would be the creation in Kazakhstan of a mirror laboratory in mathematics, AI, modeling, and engineering computations.
The laboratory shall be established at the International Center for Artificial Intelligence ALEM.AI as a joint undertaking of the Ghent Analysis & PDE Cente and the Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Modeling of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The scientific coordinator from Ghent University shall be Professor Michael Ruzhansky. On the Kazakhstani aspect, coordination shall be offered by Mahmud Sadybekov, Director General of the Institute of Mathematics and Mathematical Modeling.
The mirror laboratory will function in a distributed format, offering Kazakhstani researchers with entry to scientific experience, methodology, and joint analysis with Ghent University. This mannequin will allow to set up sustainable worldwide analysis groups and scale up cooperation in keeping with the wants of science and business.
In addition to creating the laboratory, the settlement gives for tutorial exchanges, together with underneath the Bolashak program, conferences, seminars, lectures, intensive faculties, skilled improvement packages for researchers and college students, in addition to the launch of joint analysis and startup tasks.
The International Science and Technology Center (ISTC) performs an necessary function in implementing the agreements. ISTC will contribute to the event of worldwide scientific cooperation, the formation of consortia, preparation of joint tasks, and growth of partnerships between Kazakhstani organizations and European analysis and innovation buildings.
Participation of ISTC will strengthen the sensible implementation of agreements, together with by attracting worldwide experience, creating science diplomacy, and supporting new tasks in synthetic intelligence, crucial supplies, engineering applied sciences, and coaching of scientific personnel.
The signed agreements are a part of a unified program of rapprochement between Kazakhstan and the European Union within the discipline of science, innovation, and excessive applied sciences. During the go to, problems with Kazakhstan’s affiliation with the Horizon Europe program, improvement of deep-tech, engineering schooling, commercialization of analysis, and worldwide scientific cooperation have been additionally mentioned.
New partnerships with KU Leuven, SIM², Ghent University, Astana Hub, and ISTC create an institutional basis for strengthening the nation’s scientific potential and develop alternatives for Kazakhstani students and engineers to be part of the European Research Area.
Earlier, Qazinform reported that Minister of Foreign Affairs Yermek Kosherbayev held negotiations along with his Belgian counterpart Maxime Prévot in Brussels.
