Dear friends!
We are pleased to announce that we are opening a column on the corporate website and on social media accounts of the NASEC dedicated to famous scientists of the industry who have made an invaluable contribution to the development of agricultural science of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Today, 95% of Kazakhstan’s agricultural scientists are employees of the National Agrarian Science and Educational Center, who are working on new solutions and projects of the industry.
Science is the most powerful engine of social progress and is one of the most important sources of knowledge.
Progress in science will be key to advancing all sustainable development goals, including the rise of agriculture.
We hope that the popularization of the work of our scientists will give an even greater impetus to a general understanding of the role of science and the involvement of citizens in scientific life.
We deeply honor the memory and work of our scientists, thanks to whom the most important discoveries have been made for the progression of the agricultural industry of Kazakhstan!
