The Kazakh-German University (DKU) is actively developing its potential for innovative basic research - both in the individual disciplines and in joint research projects. At national and international level, the university maintains a broad network of scientific contacts with universities, research institutions and industry.
The university's scientific potential lies in its faculties, research institutes and scientific laboratories. A special feature of the DKU is the close integration of research and practice-oriented teaching. Since its foundation, the university has been intensively involved in the expansion of basic and applied research within the faculties in priority scientific areas and at the research institutes. Overall, the university's scientific activities are aimed at promoting the sustainable development of Kazakhstan and the Central Asian region.
A key factor in the development of science at the University is the acquisition of third-party funding through grants from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Science Fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan, international organizations and institutions in the Republic of Kazakhstan and abroad, as well as through the commercialization and transfer of its scientific inventions.
This research field of the Kazakh-German University is dedicated to the challenges and opportunities of the transition to sustainable energy systems with a special focus on green hydrogen. The focus is on the development and optimization of technologies for the production, storage and use of green hydrogen. The German-Kazakh Institute for Sustainable Engineering in Aqtau plays a central role in this by promoting technological innovation and practice-oriented research. Technical, economic and social aspects of the energy transition are examined in interdisciplinary projects in order to develop innovative solutions for a climate-neutral future.
In this field of research, the Kazakh-German University examines the dynamic processes of social movements, the development of thought patterns and the formation of social identities in Central Asia. The focus is on the historical, cultural and political factors that shape the social fabric of the region. Interdisciplinary approaches are used to analyze both the roots of these movements and their impact on social development. The research aims to promote a deeper understanding of the social dynamics in Central Asia and to grasp their significance for the future development of the region.
This field of research at the German-Kazakh University focuses on the analysis of geopolitical developments and strategies in Central Asia. The research examines the role of the region in the global power structure, the interactions between regional and international actors and the effects of geopolitical decisions on the political and economic stability of Central Asia. Historical contexts are taken into account as well as current geopolitical trends and challenges. The aim is to promote an in-depth understanding of the geopolitical dynamics in the region and to provide insights that contribute to the formulation of strategies for sustainable development and stability.
