Today, our university, being the only higher education institution in the region serving as a center of education, science, and innovation, is also actively advancing projects related to the rational use of water. Since last year, Kozybayev University has been implementing a large-scale program-targeted project focused on the development and внедрение high-tech solutions for monitoring, purification, and efficient use of water resources in the North Kazakhstan Region. The ultimate goal is to improve public health by ensuring access to clean drinking and technical water. The project runs until 2027 and covers five interrelated areas, ranging from hygienic assessment of water supply and epidemiological risks to biological rehabilitation of water bodies and digitalization of water monitoring systems. The expert team includes scientists with unique interdisciplinary expertise in chemistry, ecology, medicine, epidemiology, agriculture, engineering, and digital technologies from Kazakhstan, the USA, the United Kingdom, Turkey, and China, ensuring the project is carried out at the intersection of disciplines and in line with global best practices. New laboratory complexes have been established at the university, aimed at improving the quality of life in the North Kazakhstan Region. The project is led by Professor, PhD, Kozybayev University, Dmitry Berillo, who is ranked among the top 40 most cited scientists in chemical sciences in Kazakhstan according to Web of Science. During the event, he was awarded a certificate of appreciation from the Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation for his active participation in research and project activities in the field of water consumption.

At the eco-hour, Anuar Uskenbayev, Acting General Director of the Republican State Enterprise “Kazvodkhoz,” presented an analysis of the current state of Kazakhstan’s water resources, existing challenges, and modern approaches to their management. Organizers emphasized that such initiatives help foster a responsible attitude toward natural resources among young people and stimulate the development of scientific and public interest in environmental issues. The eco-hour became a platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and the generation of new ideas aimed at preserving water resources and ensuring a sustainable future for Kazakhstan.  

A national-level hackathon, CyberShield-2026, was held at Kozybayev University, organized jointly with the Department of Economic Investigations for the North Kazakhstan Region as part of implementing the principle of “Law and Order.” Teams from 13 universities across Kazakhstan took part in the hackathon.

As part of the strategy to develop scientific potential and expand international cooperation, Kozybayev University has engaged foreign researchers from India and Pakistan. A postdoctoral researcher from Chiang Mai University (Thailand), Lokeshwara Reddy, has arrived at the university. He has extensive experience in bioelectronics, biosensors, and nanostructured materials. He has been appointed as a research fellow to contribute to a project focused on developing sustainable water management technologies based on advanced international standards. The research aims to ensure environmental safety, protect public health, promote organic agriculture, and reduce negative environmental impact. Currently, the scientist is working on the development of water treatment and purification systems for industrial processes at processing enterprises, including biological treatment methods. Dr. Muhammad Saqib Saif has also joined the university’s research activities. He is a lecturer at Islamia University of Bahawalpur. His research interests include the development of biologically active compounds based on plant extracts, green synthesis of nanoparticles and metal-organic frameworks, as well as nanomedicine. Within the framework of the program-targeted funding (PCF), Muhammad Saqib Saif will conduct a comparative analysis of feed resources to improve milk quality. This research is aimed at introducing innovative approaches in the agricultural sector and enhancing the quality of agricultural products.

As part of the “Law and Order” ideology and ongoing preventive efforts against drug-related crime, Kozybayev University, in cooperation with the Department for Coordination of Preventive Work of the North Kazakhstan Region Police Department, held a practical training session for students at the Canine Service Center. The main goal of the event was to raise students’ awareness of the prevention of offenses related to the use and distribution of drugs, as well as to introduce them to the work of the police canine service. During the meeting, students had a unique opportunity to observe the practical work of police officers and their service dogs. Participants were shown the skills of four-legged assistants in detecting narcotic and explosive substances, and were also informed about the specifics of canine service work. A guided tour of the center sparked particular interest. Students were shown the conditions in which the dogs are kept, their equipment and gear, as well as the training process. Future specialists were able to observe the work of various breeds - from shepherd dogs to spaniels - known for their speed, intelligence, and precision in following commands. Additionally, during a demonstration, the service dogs successfully apprehended a mock offender and detected a simulated narcotic substance. The spectacular nature of the performance, the coordination of actions, and the professionalism of the officers made a strong impression on the students. At the end of the meeting, participants noted that they had gained a new perspective on the profession of a canine handler and recognized the importance of preventive work in combating drug-related crime.
