Institute of Physical and Technical Sciences Hosts Seminar on a Research Internship at Dresden University of Technology

On 29 October 2026, the Institute of Physical and Technical Sciences at L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University hosted a seminar on the experience of undertaking a research internship in Germany through the “500 Scientists” programme.

The presentation was delivered by Anuar Aldongarov, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Technical Physics. He discussed in detail the nature of research work at Dresden University of Technology, the experience of integrating into research teams abroad, and the opportunities the programme offers researchers from Kazakhstan.

Such events offer considerable practical value to the Institute’s faculty members and early-career researchers. They help participants plan academic mobility and overseas research internships effectively, while also providing guidance for the development of their own research and educational programmes.

Learning about best practices at leading European universities helps strengthen the Institute’s research environment, identify new partners, and encourage young researchers to participate actively in international projects.

Anuar Aldongarov is also a recipient of the “Best University Teacher 2016” award and the prestigious Newton-Al-Farabi grant for a research internship at Swansea University (United Kingdom). He currently leads a research project focused on developing nanomaterials for photocatalytic water splitting.
