The meeting, co-chaired by Belgium and the Holy See, brought together representatives of Education Ministries of the countries of European Higher Education Area, Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as partner organizations, including the Council of Europe, EURASHE, EUA, ENQA, ESU, UNESCO and EQAR.

During the meeting, sessions were also held on best practices and challenges for executing the key indicators of Bologna process, as well as on digital "green skills" using artificial intelligence in research and education. Speaking at the panel session of Ministerial Conference of European Higher Education Area and Global Policy Dialogue, Samgat Yermekbayev voiced the issues and prospects of using artificial intelligence in higher education.

- We rely on the Atlas of new professions to determine the necessary competencies and, with the help of analytics, predict which education system we will need in the future, within five years, - said Samgat Kuatovich in his speech.

- We are also analyzing the market in which our students and graduates will build their careers.

He stressed that the use of artificial intelligence can become a good analytical tool and help higher education organizations to always remain relevant and provide the training and knowledge needed by the country.

Kazakhstan remains the only Central Asian country integrated into European Higher Education Area. The country actively cooperates with other Central Asian countries in the framework of joint degree programs and initiatives, which contributes to strengthening the educational ties in the region.

The country's leadership is actively promoting the strategy of internationalization in higher education. This direction has a significant impact on preparing Kazakhstani students for global challenges and increasing the country's competitiveness in the global educational space. It was also noted that Kazakhstan actively cooperates with European Higher Education Area, which promotes access to global resources and educational opportunities, as well as cultural exchange and improving the country's reputation in the global educational community.
