Three cooperation memorandums were signed at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University during the international symposium “Philosophy. Ethics. Future,” dedicated to the philosophical and scientific legacy of Abu Nasr Al-Farabi.
Under the first agreement, the university’s Department of Religious Studies and Cultural Studies will receive the status of a representation of the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO). Its work will focus on research, education, and dialogue and public awareness.
Plans include expanding research in religious studies and cultural studies, developing special courses and professional training programs, and organizing summer schools and academic mobility programs. International conferences and seminars, as well as scientific publications, are also planned. The document was signed by KazNU Rector Zhanseit Tuymebayev and ICESCO Director-General Salim Al Malik.
