On February 23 (Friday), 2024, the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan will hold a meeting with young leaders in science. This event is part of a broader strategy to attract young talents into the scientific community.
The meeting will be attended by members of the National Kurultai and the National Council for Science and Technology under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, chairs of the councils of young scientists from universities and research institutes across the country, and young but already established scientists.
Currently, there are about 22,000 scientists in the country. The average age of a scientist with a degree is 57, and 15% of the staff have reached retirement age.
As part of the meeting, a round table will be held where leading young scientists will share their ideas on developing the scientific ecosystem and priority research areas, propose ways to enhance the role of young scientists in science, and discuss measures for their social support.
During the meeting, the establishment of the Council of Young Scientists under the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan will be announced for the first time. The Council will become an authoritative organization uniting young scientists in the country and will have all the necessary powers for its activities.
It is noteworthy that for the first time in the field of scientific administration, the position of Ombudsman, a member of the Presidium of the Council of Young Scientists, will be officially introduced to protect the rights of young scientists. The Ombudsman will be tasked with further promoting and strengthening the status of young scientists.
Additionally, leading young scientists, as experts, will provide independent analytical recommendations, participate in the Academy’s expert-analytical activities, popularize science, conduct foresight studies, and prepare the National Science Report.
We invite representatives of the media to participate in the meeting of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan with outstanding young scientists of the country.
