Training highly qualified specialists for the energy sector is an important step toward achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Today’s global challenges in the energy sector require not only strong theoretical knowledge but also an understanding of trends related to the transition to environmentally friendly and efficient technologies.

On April 23, 2026, a meeting was held at the Department of Technical Physics and Heat Power Engineering with Seit Abeukhanovich Aliyev, Director of the Information Center for Atomic Technologies and Head of the Youth Branch of the Nuclear Society of Kazakhstan.

The event was organized in an open dialogue format, allowing students to ask relevant questions and receive expert insights into key areas of energy development. During the meeting, participants discussed the prospects of nuclear energy as a major source of clean and stable power, its role in ensuring national energy security, and the importance of training qualified professionals for the industry.

Special attention was given to quality education (SDG 4), affordable and clean energy (SDG 7), and decent work and economic growth (SDG 8). Participants also discussed how modern educational programs can contribute to developing competencies required in the context of energy transition and digitalization.

The meeting highlighted the importance of cooperation between the university and professional and industry organizations. Such events help broaden students’ professional outlook, enhance their interest in research activities, and support informed career choices in the energy sector.

These meetings are an essential part of practice-oriented education and demonstrate the university’s commitment to training a new generation of specialists capable of contributing to sustainable energy development and society as a whole.
