From October 17 to 21, 2024, a delegation from the International educational corporation (KazGASA), including rector M.B. Imandosova, provost B.A. Sabdenaliev, dean of the general construction faculty Zh.N. Moldamuratov, and director of KazGASA College E.M. Mamyrbekov, visited Beijing and Tianjin, China and participated in the forum of the Belt and Road Architectural University International Consortium (BRAUIC).
Since its establishment in 2017, the BRAUIC has steadily expanded its membership. This year, seven new members were approved, including KazGASA. The consortium also updated its logo to reflect new members, symbolizing the connection of countries within the “One Belt, One Road” initiative and emphasizing the importance of cooperation and cultural exchange.
KazGASA officially joined the “Belt and Road Architectural University International Consortium” (BRAUIC), which brings together 91 universities from 30 countries worldwide. Consortium members unanimously supported KazGASA’s candidacy to chair the consortium conference in 2025. During the flag handover ceremony, rector M.B. Imandosova expressed hopes for a successful gathering and invited all consortium members to Kazakhstan in 2025.
Joining the International Consortium of Architectural and Construction Universities opens up new opportunities for the International educational corporation (KazGASA) to actively collaborate with member universities worldwide. KazGASA became the first university in Kazakhstan to join the international consortium and will host this significant forum in Kazakhstan in 2025. This event will not only strengthen KazGASA’s international connections but also elevate Kazakhstan’s status as an important platform for global dialogue in architectural and construction education.
