Cooperation with ABEEK: ENU strengthens its work in the field of international accreditation

The delegation of ABEEK (Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea), one of the leading international organizations in the field of accreditation of engineering education, visited The L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University.

The delegation included ABEEK President Woo-Seung Kim, Director of the organization's secretariat Ahn Hae-Ryong, and Chairman of the International Relations Committee Yangbok Joo.

The guests were greeted by ENU’s Acting Rector Ardak Beisenbai. In his speech, he noted the importance of the delegation's visit for the university.

"We highly appreciate the opportunity to get acquainted with the activities of ABEEK, discuss modern approaches to the development of engineering education and share international experience in improving educational programs. Of particular interest to us are the experience of the Republic of Korea and ABEEK's activities in developing engineering education in accordance with international standards. I am confident that today's meeting will lay a solid foundation for a long-term and mutually beneficial partnership," Ardak Beisenbai said.
