During the working visit of the Esil University delegation to Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo (UMSIDA), a guest lecture was organised for master's students of the Indonesian university.
The lecture became an important component of the expanding academic and educational cooperation between Esil University and UMSIDA, aimed at strengthening academic exchange, developing international dialogue, and integrating the research initiatives of young scientists.
The event brought together Master's students from various educational programmes — public administration, economics, engineering, digital technologies, sustainable development, and social policy. Doctoral candidates of Esil University presented their current research, reflecting contemporary global trends in economics, digitalization, sustainable development, and the transformation of governance systems.
During the guest lecture, Doctor of Economic Sciences, Professor D.M. Turekulova delivered a lecture on the topic "Sustainable Development of Kazakhstan's Regions Based on the 'Evidence-Based Policy' Concept".
During the lecture, academic reports by doctoral candidates were also presented:
The reports presented generated considerable interest among UMSIDA postgraduate students, as they addressed current issues in the digital economy, environmental policy, public administration reforms, and changes in the education system. The lecture was accompanied by an active discussion: attendees posed questions about prospects for cooperation, research methods, the applicability of models presented in the reports, and opportunities for international academic mobility.
The delivery of the guest lecture represented a significant step in deepening scientific dialogue between universities. The event strengthened the position of Esil University in the international educational space, demonstrated the high level of preparation of doctoral candidates, and created a foundation for further joint projects, academic publications, and programmes of scholarly cooperation.
