Kazakhstan and Qatar strengthen cooperation in the field of education

Nazarbayev University signed a memorandum of cooperation with the leading Qatari higher education institution - Hamad bin Khalifa University.
The main points of the agreement are the development of promising areas of cooperation between the two universities, the support of educational, professional and cultural ties, the exchange of teachers and students. The development of academic activities, cooperation in the research area, the implementation of joint scientific projects and the training of specialists were also identified as spheres of mutual interest.
This memorandum will lay the foundation for large-scale cooperation between higher educational institutions of Kazakhstan and Qatar.
Hamad bin Khalifa University, named after the Emir-Father of the State of Qatar, is part of the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (Qatar Foundation), which was founded in 2010 to realize the country's vision of unleashing human potential. This university acts as a catalyst for positive transformations in Qatar and the region, while exerting a global influence on the development of the state.
Since 2016, Hamad bin Khalifa University has been successfully cooperating with the Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi. In 2019, with the assistance of the Qatari university, the Scientific and Educational Center for Islamic Finance was opened at KazNU, which became the first educational institution in Central Asia to train specialists in this field.
