Kazakh ambassador visits 果冻影院
24 April 2007
His Excellency Erlan Idrissov, Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan, visited 果冻影院 on 20 April 2007 to discuss with Professor Michael Worton, Vice-Provost (Academic & International) how 果冻影院 and Kazakhstan take further their partnership.
After their strategic discussions, Professor Worton hosted an informal tea in 果冻影院's Garden Room to enable the ambassador to meet Kazakh students as well as academics engaged in Kazakh projects.
His Excellency made a brief speech in which he mentioned his delight at the number and quality of Kazakh students studying at 果冻影院, and his hopes for a deepening relationship with the university.
Several 果冻影院 academics, including Professor Stefaan Simons (果冻影院 Chemical Engineering) who has worked on projects in Kazakhstan for over ten years, discussed their ideas for potential academic activities involving the central Asian country, which is home to every element in the periodic table.
A number of the 63 Kazakh undergraduates at 果冻影院 took the opportunity to meet the ambassador, and shared their experiences of the university, academic life in the UK, and their career aspirations.
