On May 6, 2025, representatives of the Institute of Ionosphere participated in the international scientific and practical seminar “Sustainable Development, Scientific Research, and Personnel Training for the Aerospace Industry of the CIS Countries,” organized by Kozybayev University. The event brought together leading scientists and experts from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Russia, creating a platform for discussing current issues in astrophysics, the application of satellite technologies, and the improvement of educational programs for the space industry.

The Institute of the Ionosphere presented scientific results in the fields of space weather research, atmospheric physics, space data analysis, and the development of satellite emergency monitoring systems.

The key event of the seminar was the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between Kozybayev University and the Institute of Ionosphere. The document provides for joint work in decarbonization, greenhouse gas monitoring, educational programs for students, and research into the physics of the upper atmosphere and near-Earth space.

Participants were particularly drawn to the achievements of the Kozybayev University Astrophysical Research Center, led by Professor Andrey Andreevich Solodovnik. The center’s team presented groundbreaking results in the study of long-period variable stars, including proof of the relationship between meteorological processes and the dynamics of noctilucent clouds—a discovery without parallel anywhere in the world.

In the final part of the event, the parties discussed the prospects for joint research projects, the organization of student internships at the Institute of the Ionosphere, as well as strategic areas for further cooperation within the framework of an international scientific partnership.
