In our journey to excellence, by 2030, KATU will become a global hub of innovation, strategic research, and training for knowledge seekers, creators, and disseminators in the fields of food, agriculture, and environmental sciences in the heart of Central Asia.

We will build “Knowledge Bridges” between KATU and the outside world, and Kazakhstan and the rest of the world in the food & agriculture sectors, and other vital fields such as environmental sciences through the work, achievements, and contributions of our scientists, teachers, and graduates. 

We will deepen and strengthen our relations with the world’s top universities, scientific institutions, and research bodies through knowledge, expertise, and talent exchanges.
