The Kazakh delegation included representatives of the Allur group of companies, Alageum Electric, the UMAY Research Center, KRU named after A. Baitursynuly and Kartu named after A. Saginov.
“During the working visit, for the first time, representatives of industry and science came together to study advanced practices and technologies introduced in Korea,” explained the rector of Baitursynuly University Seitbek KUANYSHBAEV. “We discussed the development of projects, educational programs and scientific initiatives aimed at increasing the competitiveness of Kazakh industry and improving personnel training in relevant areas."

The rector of KRU met with the guys who shared their impressions of studying and living in South Korea.
By the way, next year already 10 of our students will be able to study at Dong-Eui. Kostanay and South Korean universities signed a corresponding memorandum last month.
