On September 8, 2025, the Institute of Mechanics and Machine Science named after Academician O.A. Zholdasbekov (JIME) hosted a delegation of scientists from AGH University of Science and Technology (AGH UST, Stanisław Staszic Academy of Mining and Metallurgy, Republic of Poland) as part of the development of long-term international scientific and technical cooperation.

The Polish delegation included leading experts in materials science, mechanics, and metallurgy: Professor Jacek Czeslik, AGH Coordinator for Cooperation with Universities of Central Asia (Krakow, Poland); Prof. Dr. Hab. Eng. Agnieszka Kopya; Dr. Hab. Eng. Łukasz Rauch; Dr. Hab. Eng. Krzysztof Muszka; Dr. Hab. Eng. Łukasz Rakodziej; and Dr. Hab. Eng. Piotr Migas.

The Director General of IMMS, Z.G. Ualiev, delivered a presentation highlighting the key areas of the Institute’s scientific and innovative activities, its research infrastructure, and ongoing projects. In response, representatives of AGH University of Science and Technology presented their scientific developments in the fields of nanomaterials, functional and protective coatings, as well as metallurgical machinery engineering.

Particular interest was drawn to the research conducted by the Polish colleagues, who possess extensive expertise in materials science and metallurgy. Professor Jacek Czeslik, one of AGH’s leading specialists in engineering mechanics and robotics, presented promising approaches to the application of new materials in automated and robotic systems.

The Institute of Mechanics and Machine Science named after Academician Ö.A. Zholdasbekov and AGH University of Science and Technology have been successfully cooperating for more than ten years, implementing joint scientific initiatives and academic exchange programs. During the meeting, the parties discussed the expansion of partnership, including the preparation of joint research projects and publications, participation in international grant programs, as well as prospects for collaborative research on the development of lightweight and high-strength materials.

The implementation of these areas is of strategic importance for the development of modern automated and robotic systems and contributes to the integration of Kazakhstani science into the international research community.
