The universities have many years of experience in implementing educational projects. Today we are in the process of transformation of geopolitical and macroeconomic processes in the world, we believe that our region has an excellent prospect of becoming a new educational hub in Central Asia+ region (Central Asian countries, Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Mongolia, etc.). (hereinafter referred to as the Region). We have an opportunity to take the lead in the realization of higher education in the Region.
In this regard, we are welcomed to invite you to the “Bas Qosu” (Meet-Up) devoted to the launch of Central Asia+ Rector’s Club (hereinafter referred to as the Club).
The Club is meant as a platform for informal, and therefore open and direct communication about the transformation of higher education in the Region. The participants of the Club are university leaders and experts in higher education from Central Asia, Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Mongolia and others.
The Club will provide an opportunity to identify and solve problems, share solutions with participants, build friendships, and launch joint projects.
The meetings will be held in the mode of intensive communication: each participant will contribute to the discussion. We are looking forward to everyone’s contribution.
The launch of the club will be held at Almaty Management University (AlmaU) in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The date: June 8, 2023.
The program includes a number of other exciting educational initiatives. We hope you will be interested in joining.
There has never been an epicenter of innovation in world higher education, neither in Central Asia or in our selected neighbouring countries. Let’s try to change that together.
