In addition to the specific results in number of new researches, we expect qualitative growth given the access of our scientists to the most advanced scientific articles. And they, as a rule, are published in English.
Therefore, our task is not simply to teach to say "Hello", but provide every opportunity from the state for those who are truly passionate about their work and understands the importance of development of Kazakhstani science for future generations".
