Kazakh National University of Sports (KNUS) has joined the global network of research centres of the International Olympic Committee. Kazakhstan has become the first Central Asian country to be represented in the Olympic Studies and Research Centre (OSRC) system. To receive this status, the university had to meet international requirements. Experts assessed its infrastructure, educational programs and research activities. Notably, the Centre for Olympic Studies, Education and Legacy is based at the university. It studies the history and values of the Olympic movement and conducts research and academic events. Joining the international network will enable the university to cooperate with foreign centres and exchange research and educational practices.
«Our mission is to train a new generation of specialists who will contribute to the development of sport in Kazakhstan. What sets us apart is our comprehensive approach: we bring together sport, education, science, sports medicine and rehabilitation, management, digital technologies and artificial intelligence into a single ecosystem. Our next task is to confirm our international status with concrete results: to conduct research, develop new educational programs and strengthen international cooperation with foreign centres. At the same time, we will build our own research base in the field of the Olympic movement. I believe this will take the training of future professionals in the sports sector to a new level,» noted Tursynzada Kuangaliyeva, Rector of the Kazakh National University of Sports.
