At the April meeting of the Kazakh National Council for Science and Technology, the head of state Kassym-Jomart Tokayev rightly emphasised, "Where science is strong, the state will be strong. Without science, the country is doomed. And a country with advanced science will be able to overcome any crisis. When science flourishes, the economy flourishes, and the well-being of the people increases." According to the Times Higher Education international university rankings last year, Nazabayev University is in the top 30% of the world’s best universities, 129th among Asian universities, and 106th among young universities.
