Professor Don Eliseo Lucero-Prisno III in the future proposed a special issue in the journal Public Health Challenges or BMC Global Health Research and Policy, Q1/IF of 8.7 on research in Central Asia, which will help disseminate the research of NJSC KazNMU among an international readership and expert audience. The special issue will be followed by a session at the World Health Summit in Berlin in 2024. This conference is a continuation of the WHO meeting, which will disseminate KazNMU research among the international, highly cited international community. This will open up opportunities for KazNMU to collaborate with foreign experts and organizations.
An agreement was concluded with the professors to supervise young scientists, master’s and doctoral students to improve their skills in preparing high-quality publications.
