On February 7, during an expanded board meeting of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan titled “Human Capital Development as the Foundation for a Competitive Economy and Sustainable Growth: Innovation, Technology, and Collaboration with Industry,” Minister of Science and Higher Education Sayasat Nurbek, acting on behalf of the Head of State, presented apartment certificates to 17 young Kazakhstani researchers.
Among those receiving housing certificates were two young scientists from the Institute of Zoology:
- Erkezhan Mukhtrarovna Argynbayeva, Researcher in the Laboratory of Hydrobiology and Ecotoxicology, PhD student
- Anna Mikhailovna Khamchukova, Researcher at the Biocenology and Game Management Center, MSc
With the government’s support, our colleagues will now improve their housing conditions, enjoy a more comfortable environment for living and working, and have a greater sense of security and stability. As a result, they can devote more attention to scientific research and new ideas, contributing to the continued development of zoological science in Kazakhstan.
The ministry is undertaking a phased approach to improving housing conditions for young scientists. Last year, 25 young researchers received apartment certificates. Such support for emerging scholars is a vital step toward retaining and expanding the human resources and scientific potential of our country!
We sincerely congratulate our colleagues on this major and exciting milestone in their lives!
