The document confirms the parties' intention to combine efforts in the development of education, science, research, and youth policy, as well as to build sustainable ties between academia and government, corporate, and public institutions. The agreements focus on developing a practice-oriented model for training specialists capable of addressing the pressing challenges of a modern metropolis.
The ADC's mission—to promote the sustainable socioeconomic development of Almaty through support for educational, research, innovation, and social projects—is logically furthered by a partnership with a leading platform for management training. The parties emphasized the importance of developing academic and scientific potential, supporting youth, young scientists, and students, and fostering an inclusive and socially responsible society.
The collaboration will encompass educational programs in Social Work, Sociology, Psychology, Pedagogy, Inclusive Education, and other related disciplines at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral levels. The agreement envisages joint scientific and applied research, lectures, master classes, forums, conferences, and hackathons, the exchange of analytical and methodological materials, and the involvement of students in volunteer and project activities within the framework of urban social initiatives.
The parties plan to devote special attention to supporting youth initiatives, student startups, and social projects, as well as engaging relevant experts, including in the field of inclusive education. Specific projects will be identified on a regular basis—through expert meetings, the exchange of additional materials, and, if necessary, the conclusion of separate agreements.
The signing of the Memorandum demonstrates the parties' commitment to systematically uniting their intellectual, human, and institutional potential to address urban development challenges. In the context of dynamic urban transformation, the synergy between science, education, and practice is becoming a key factor in creating a sustainable, inclusive, and socially oriented urban environment.
