Recently, Astana IT University hosted an important meeting with Mr. Hugh Hallman, the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the USA. This event marked a significant step toward strengthening international cooperation in IT education.
During the meeting, we discussed several key areas:
🔹 The implementation of dual-degree programs, including a successful collaboration with Lawrence Technological University.
🔹 Opportunities for students and faculty to participate in academic mobility programs.
🔹 Joint research projects focused on artificial intelligence and the creative industries.
Mr. Hallman expressed his admiration for the progress the university has made since his last visit in 2021. He was particularly interested in our efforts to adapt educational programs for dual-degree initiatives, a challenging task even for universities in the United States.
At the end of the meeting, we outlined future points of collaboration, which included identifying suitable high-ranking universities in the USA for new partnerships.
These initiatives not only open new opportunities for students and faculty but also strengthen the educational and scientific ties between Kazakhstan and the USA.
