Topical areas of cooperation were discussed during the visit of the delegation of K. Zhubanov Aktobe Regional State University to the faculty of physics and technology

The visit took place as part of the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Yanka Kupala State University.
The rector of K. Zhubanov University, Baurzhan Erembetov, vice-rector for strategic development Kuanyshbek Shunkeyev and dean of physics and mathematics faculty Altanshash Bekbauova visited the faculty of physics and technology.
During the visit, the prospects for further cooperation with scientists of the faculty of physics and technology of Kupala University were discussed. The guests got acquainted with the main areas of work of the molecular spectroscopy and nanostructure optics laboratory of the faculty of physics and technology, visited the supercomputer center, as well as the science and technology park.
During the discussion, the parties reached an agreement on the conclusion of another export contract for the supply of an experimental plant to K. Zhubanov University, which is being developed by scientists of the faculty of physics and technology.
The guests were actively interested in the developments of the faculty in the field of object research using x-ray fluorescence and laser emission analysis. This task is particularly relevant for the Aktobe region in connection with the planned development of a valuable mineral, diatomite, which can be used as a highly effective sorbent in industry and medicine.
A possibility of performing joint research in the field of computer modeling of physical processes using remote access to computing resources of the Yanka Kupala State University was discussed.
A demonstration of a prototype of an innovative alcohol tester based on an electrochemical sensor developed at the faculty of physics and technology by a team of young scientists and graduates (Artur and Alexander Litskevich, Alexey Nikito, Witold Zaman) took place. By the way, this development has caught the interest of field-oriented Kazakh specialists, a joint project has been formed to complete R & D and commercialise the development results on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
In addition to discussing joint research projects, the prospects for designing joint educational programs and two-degree education in the master's degree program of the faculty of physics and technology were also considered.
For reference: Cooperation of the faculty of physics and technology of K. Zhubanov University began with the visit of the first vice-rector of K. Zhubanov University Kuanyshbek Shunkeev to Kupala University in August 2017. On November 28, 2017, Minsk hosted the sixth meeting of the working Commission for coordinating the activities of the scientific and educational consortium between higher educational and research institutions of the Republic of Belarus and the Republic of Kazakhstan, at which K. Zhubanov Aktobe Regional State University was accepted as a member of the consortium.
Within the framework of joint work in the consortium, scientists of the faculty of physics and technology of Yanka Kupala State University have implemented 5 export contracts, prepared 5 scientific publications and 7 applications for scientific projects, and organized an internship for undergraduates in the laboratory of molecular spectroscopy and nanostructure optics of Kupala University.
