The Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan and King’s College London expand collaboration

28 forensic experts from Kazakhstan are doing internships in London under the Bolashak international programme.

During the internship, in order to improve their professional level, experts undergo training on the programme designed by academics at King’s College London, also visiting United Kingdom organizations engaged in forensic work.

"We look forward to and welcome experts as part of our strong relationship with the Ministry of Justice of Kazakhstan.We hope that this programme helps increase the development of forensic expertise in the Republic of Kazakhstan on the basis of the experience gained by the United Kingdom", said Dr Nunzianda Frascione.
Started in October 2016, the project Strengthening Forensic Capacity addresses various aspects of forensic science, including laboratory management, training, regulation and management. It is carried out by a consortium of organizations from the United Kingdom and Kazakhstan, including King’s College London.

"I am very pleased to be a part of the forensic reform in Kazakhstan," said Yury Bikbaev, Project Leader, Strengthening Forensic Capacity Project. "King's College London has been instrumental in our project, and this is a great opportunity to further widen engagement and impact".
