On 16-17 October, the XXVII General Assembly of the Association of Universities of the Caspian Region was held in Atyrau, with the full participation of the Board of Directors of Kh. Dosmukhamedov Atyrau University.

The meeting, held under the theme “Caspian Ecosystem: Integration of Science and Education,” brought together universities and research organizations from Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Russia.

Chairman of the Board of Directors, statesman and public figure, and Deputy Chairman of the Republican Public Association “Zhanaru,” Beibit Mamrayev, emphasized that the Caspian region holds special importance for Kazakhstan. He noted that it is a strategic economic hub, an energy center, and an ecologically significant area directly impacting the well-being and health of the population.

He highlighted the need to train specialists with a strong understanding of the region’s biodiversity, climate, energy, and logistics features.
