A total of 100 scientific projects are being successfully implemented at Abai University. Among them, 54 projects are funded through grant financing, 3 through program-targeted financing, and 1 project has a commercial focus. The projects, aimed at scientific-pedagogical, industrial, and intellectual purposes, undergo expert evaluation and are systematically carried out. This demonstrates the university’s growing scientific potential and the effectiveness of its research outcomes.

Under a joint agreement with Keruen Plus LLP on the commercialization of scientific and scientific-technical activities, the project titled “Innovative Production of Eco-Friendly Glossy Window Sills by Co-Extrusion from PVC-Based Composite Materials Using YBCO Modifiers” (DP21682051) has been extended until the end of the year. The developed product has been introduced into production by Keruen Plus LLP and has already begun yielding positive results. This commercialization project is a vivid example of the successful integration of science and industry aimed at creating innovative production in Kazakhstan.

In April 2026, according to the monitoring results conducted by the National Center for State Scientific and Technical Expertise, 26 projects funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan successfully passed evaluation. This indicates that the university’s scientific projects are being systematically implemented according to the scheduled plan and that the research results are being effectively applied in practice.

Within the framework of scientific projects funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Kazakhstan for 2024–2027, articles were published in international peer-reviewed scientific journals, while textbooks, teaching aids, and monographs were also released. In addition, acts of implementation of research results into the educational process and patents for intellectual property objects were obtained. In particular:

Project AP23487595, titled “Preparation of Methodological Developments Aimed at Developing Skills in Using Remote Sensing Materials in School Geography.” Within the framework of the project led by researcher Shakhislam Laiskhanov, methodological materials for the use of Earth remote sensing data in school geography were developed. As a result, 2 articles were published in Scopus-indexed journals, 2 articles in Committee-recommended publications, and a presentation was delivered at an international conference. In addition, one methodological teaching guide was published and a copyright certificate was obtained.

Within the project “Transmedia and Artistic Representation of Kazakhstan’s Image in Contemporary World Culture” (AP23489915), led by Professor Saule Abishova, two elective courses for school students were developed: “The Image of Kazakhstan in World Literature” and “Literary Geography of Kazakhstan: Landscapes of Inspiration.” Furthermore, the disciplines “Transmedia Representation of Kazakhstan’s Image in Contemporary World Culture” and “The Image of Kazakhstan in Contemporary World Literature” were introduced into master’s and doctoral educational programs. The project results were integrated into the educational process, and methodological recommendations were published.

Within the framework of project AR22686317, a Stackable Degree model was developed to enhance the qualifications of master’s students in the context of integrating formal and informal education. The project is led by PhD Damira Sovetkanova. As a result of the project, two articles were published in the proceedings of an international scientific-practical conference. In addition, 5 original educational programs were developed and implemented. A scientific monograph was also published, and an implementation act was obtained. An article was published in a Scopus-indexed journal.

The astronomy-oriented project AP22682939, titled “Studies of General Relativistic Effects in the Motion of Orbital Satellites (Test Bodies) in Axially Symmetric Gravitational Fields,” was carried out under the leadership of Daniya Utepova. Within the framework of the project, general relativity effects during the motion of orbital satellites in axially symmetric gravitational fields were studied. Based on the research findings, two articles were published in Web of Science-indexed journals (Q1, Q2).

Overall, scientific projects make a significant contribution to strengthening the university’s scientific potential, updating educational content, developing digital and innovative resources, enhancing the connection between science and practice, and increasing the university’s international reputation. Today, Abai University’s scientific projects have become important scientific initiatives that address society’s needs in education, technology, and cultural development, serving not only the academic community but society as a whole.
