Education is rapidly changing, and Kazakhstan is actively implementing innovative approaches to learning. Svetlana Borisovna Glazunova, Director of the Department of Strategic Development, explains why continuing education and micro-qualifications are becoming essential tools for professional and personal growth.
Why is Continuing Education So Important?
In a world where technology and the economy are developing at an incredible speed, the knowledge gained in universities quickly becomes outdated. The need for constant renewal and expansion of skills has become a vital necessity. Continuing education allows people to stay abreast of the latest trends, acquire new competencies, and remain competitive in the labor market.
Our university student Zarina Gataullina, majoring in Economics, prepared a research paper titled "Managing ESG projects in the context of achieving sustainable development goals in the Republic of Kazakhstan," which was awarded 3rd place at the international competition of student scientific works "Management, Social and Behavioral Sciences in the Implementation of Sustainable Development Principles." This event took place on April 25-26, 2024, in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. The scientific supervisor was M.A. Asanova, PhD, a senior lecturer at the Department of Economics and Entrepreneurship, and one of the authors of the module "European practice of sustainable development management towards green transformation" (101082930 EPOS) under the Erasmus + Jean Monnet program 2022-2025.
Zarina's work is a profound study of project management methods in the fields of environmental, social responsibility, and corporate governance within the context of Kazakhstan's efforts to achieve global sustainable development goals. Her research and proposed solutions were highly appreciated for their originality and contribution to the development of sustainable practices.
Zarina's achievement is a bright example of how our university students can make a significant contribution to international efforts towards sustainable development and reaffirms our commitment to high educational standards and global cooperation under initiatives such as Erasmus + Jean Monnet.
Congratulations to Zarina Gataullina on her success, and we wish her further academic achievements!

Last Thursday 25th and Friday 26th of April we have had in the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of the USC the visit of a delegation of 11 universities from Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. This visit has been carried out in the framework of the CirculEC project funded by the Erasmus CBHE programme of the European Commission. The aim of the project is to enable these 11 Central Asian Universities to improve training in circular economy and sustainability. The first day of the visit focused on training the attendees on Circular Economy and Sustainability and the different aspects of this topic, which ended with a participatory session to identify the needs of the universities and the subsequent debate. On the second day, a visit was made to the Water Technology Centre, CETAQUA - VIAQUA where the participants had the opportunity to attend the explanations given by Teresa Alvariño, director of the Centre, on the operations and projects of CETAQUA. Also in attendance was Ana Botas, manager of VIRATEC, Clúster Gallego Soluciones Ambientales y Economía Circular (Galician Cluster for Environmental Solutions and Circular Economy) with whom a productive debate on potential forms of cooperation for mutual learning took place. The visit ended with the summary of the visit and the closure of the event.
The event began on April 22 at FHM in Bielefeld (Germany), continuation in Santiago de Compostela (Spain) and Naples (Italy).
Participants: Central Asian delegation from four countries (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan).
The aim of this international project meeting is, in addition to getting to know the project participants in real life for the first time, above all to pass on the basics of circular value creation in research and teaching as well as from the economic perspective in Europe to the Central Asian partners.
The following objectives will be pursued during the project period from 2023-2026:
- Integration of circular economy concepts into university coursework in Central Asia
- Organizing events and workshops at universities in Central Asia on the circular economy, such as lectures, panel discussions or hackathons, to get students and teachers interested in this topic.
The program in the two days in Germany started with a general presentation of the Fachhochschule des Mittelstandes and its activities in relation to Circular Economy in research and teaching. This program included a workshop to work out the transferability of a course “Circular Economy” in Bielefeld for course programs in Central Asia. On the second day, the participants were given an insight into existing FHM research projects in the field of circular value creation. Here they had the opportunity to talk to a practice partner: Marc-Philip Lamm from the bakery Lamm in Bielefeld was on hand to answer questions on the topic of sustainable and circular value creation in his own company. After an overview of the EU project “Linear 2 circular”, the participants had the opportunity to try out the tested tools and methods for themselves. The second joint day was rounded off with a presentation by Armando Garcia Schmidt from the Bertelsmann Stiftung, who gave the participants an understanding of the political and legal situation in Europe and Germany on the topic of the circular economy.
The event concluded with an idea phase in a design thinking format to integrate what they had heard into their own projects and learn from the wide-ranging input. The participants worked according to the prevailing motto in the field of the circular economy: “If we could build an economy that uses things instead of consuming them, we could build a future.” (Ellen MacArthur, Ellen MacArthur Foundation).
