He also noted that Batyrbek Beremzhanov holds a special place in the galaxy of famous scientists who stood at the origins of Kazakhstan's chemical science. The outstanding figure worked for 26 years as dean at the chemistry faculty of the country's leading university. Over the years, he has made a significant contribution to the development of the country's chemical science and the training of specialists. With his support, new scientific directions developed, which have not lost their relevance to this day. At the same time, a whole team of researchers and teachers has been formed, which today have become the pride of the country.

"Today, the Beremzhanov International Congress has become a unique, powerful intellectual platform that unites the capabilities and interests of scientists and representatives of national industry entities in the field of chemistry and chemical technologies," said the rector of the university.

The President of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Academician Murat Zhurinov, also delivered a speech at the opening of the congress. "The Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technologies of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University occupies a leading place in the National Ranking of educational programs in the field of chemical engineering. Today, he makes a significant contribution to the promotion of KazNU in the world rankings. Strong traditions and scientific schools established in the middle of the last century allowed the faculty to become one of the three best universities in the former USSR after Moscow State University. Lomonosov and St. Petersburg State University named after A.Zhdanov. This is the merit of scientist Batyrbek Beremzhanov, who devoted his entire adult life to serving the Faculty of Chemistry. We have high hopes for the results of the main congress on chemical technology, named after the great scientist," the letter says.

Deputy Chairman of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan Duman Orynbekov joined the meeting online, noting that the congress is an important event in the scientific and practical life of Kazakhstan. He noted: "The contribution of the faculty to the science of Kazakhstan is significant. Most of the publications in highly rated journals indexed in Sciense and Scopus databases belong to KazNU chemists. We also know that the staff of the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technologies makes a great contribution to the commercialization of scientific results. Therefore, it is no coincidence that such an important event is being held here," he said, expressing confidence that the meeting will contribute to the effective resolution of the country's social and general economic problems.

The following speakers also addressed the plenary session: Chairman of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan Zh.
