With the aim of developing Kazakhstan-German relations in the field of energy K.I. Satbayev Kazakh National Research Technical University held an International Conference: "Kazakh-German cooperation in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources: experience and prospects" in November 20-21, 2018.
The conference was accompanied with informativebusiness program.
The day before the conference, in November 19, 2018, a round table was organized with administration of the Satbayev University, Director of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation Representative Office in Kazakhstan – Thomas Helm, General director of the RES Association of Kazakhstan – Arman Kashkinbekov and with Director of Association of Solar Energy – Aidan Kasymbekov. The meeting discussed the possibility of joint research activities in the field of renewable energy sources and energy-efficient technologies, creation of a center for renewable energy sources, exchange of experiences, joint participation in research projects, internal and external academic mobility of students and teachers. As a result of the discussion, it was decided to sign the Memorandum of Cooperation.
