DEVELOPMENT OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY OF YOUNG RESEARCHERS AND STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY

Jalal-Abad International University functions not only as an educational institution but also as a scientific and innovative center where new ideas, technologies, and research approaches are formed. A key role in this process is played by the scientific community of young researchers and students, which brings together researchers, PhD candidates, postgraduates, and talented youth interested in scientific exploration.

The creation and development of such a community enhances the quality of education, stimulates research activity, and fosters the professional and analytical competencies necessary for successful careers in science and practice.

The main goal of the scientific community of young researchers and students (SCYRS) is to create conditions for the realization of the scientific potential of youth and to engage them in the research and innovation activities of the university.

1. Promoting the development of research skills and scientific thinking among students and postgraduates;
2. Creating an effective communication platform for exchanging ideas, experiences, and research results;
3. Organizing scientific events — conferences, forums, seminars, and round tables;
4. Supporting young researchers in publishing and project activities;
5. Forming a personnel reserve for the scientific and educational system;
6. Developing international cooperation and academic mobility.

Thus, the community serves as a tool for integrating education, science, and innovation, contributing to the professional growth of young specialists.

The scientific community operates based on regulations approved by the university’s academic council. Its leadership is carried out by the Council of Young Researchers, which includes active researchers — postgraduate students, PhD candidates, and faculty members.

The council interacts with the Vice-Rector for Science, State Language, and Social Work, as well as with the dean’s office, forming event plans and coordinating the activities of student scientific clubs, laboratories, and initiative groups.

Departments host student scientific circles where regular meetings are held to discuss publications, research results, and topics for course and diploma papers. This fosters a culture of scientific communication and develops critical and analytical thinking.

• Scientific and practical conferences and forums — annual university and inter-university events for presenting research works.
• Seminars and workshops — on research methodology, academic writing, and statistical data analysis.
• Competitions of scientific and innovative projects — supporting promising student initiatives aimed at solving regional and sectoral problems.
• Publication activities — issuing collections of scientific papers and supporting publications in peer-reviewed journals.
• Volunteer and social projects — involving students in public scientific activities and promoting science.

Modern ICT tools are used to enhance efficiency: maintaining community websites and social media pages, and creating online platforms for sharing research results and discussing ideas.

The support system for young researchers is an important part of the university’s scientific policy. It includes:

• grants and scholarships for research projects;
• funding participation in conferences, competitions, and exhibitions;
• mentorship from experienced researchers;
• awarding outstanding works with diplomas, prizes, and publications.

Moral and professional motivation plays a special role — recognition, involvement in scientific councils, conference committees, and participation in international projects.

The modern scientific community focuses not only on academic research but also on the practical application of ideas. Students, under the guidance of scientific mentors, create innovative products, models, services, and programs.

Innovation incubators and laboratories support the development of entrepreneurial competencies and strengthen cooperation between the university and the real sector.

The scientific community also carries out educational and outreach activities. “Science Days,” “Young Researcher Week,” open lectures, and exhibitions are regularly organized to showcase the achievements of young scientists.

Popularization of science increases student interest in research, strengthens the prestige of the university, and demonstrates the contribution of young researchers to society.

The scientific community of young researchers and students is a key element of the university’s scientific and innovative system. It contributes to the formation of scientific schools, the preparation of future specialists, and the strengthening of cooperation between departments and faculties.

Thanks to its active work, scientific research improves, international cooperation expands, publication activity grows, and the university's prestige increases.
