Begin Offline Edu Fair. Astana, 1 March

Nur-Sultan, formerly known as Astana, is the capital of Kazakhstan and a symbol of the country's rapid development and modernisation. This transformation is reflected in the city’s cutting-edge infrastructure, ambitious architectural projects, and its emergence as a key hub for international organisations and events. As a center for innovation and progress, Nur-Sultan fosters a knowledge-based economy, with substantial investments in educational infrastructure to support its growing student population.

With a population exceeding 1.3 million, the city is home to more than 120,000 students enrolled in higher educational institutions as of 2023. These institutions are supported by a government keen on transforming the capital into a regional academic hub. To this end, plans are underway to establish branches of leading international universities by 2025. Astana’s commitment to education is also evident in the growing number of international collaborations, research initiatives, and student exchange programmes, all aimed at enhancing the city’s global academic standing.
