On May 26, the annual Alumni Day was traditionally held at the Almaty University of Power Engineering and Telecommunications named after Gumarbek Daukeyev (Energo University), which brought together several hundred graduates from different years.
The solemn event was attended by such outstanding graduates of the university as deputy of the Senate of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan Bekbolat Orynbekov (1979 graduate), Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of AUPET Serik Tyutebayev (1981 graduate), Chairman of the Kazakhstan Branch Trade Union of Power Engineers Orazbek Bekbas (1977 graduate), as well as a well-known scientist, advisor to the Rector for strategic development Serikbek Daukey.
Rector of the Almaty University of Power Engineering and Telecommunications Gani Nygymetov presented a new vision for the development of the university. The changes designed to make Energo University the leading energy university in Central Asia will affect all areas of activity. Academic standards will be raised. This is planned to be achieved through the introduction of in-demand double-degree educational programs with leading universities and research centers in Europe, the USA, and China and the opening of branches of a number of world universities and research laboratories of world-renowned companies. The first step in this direction was the signing of a cooperation agreement with the Moscow Power Engineering Institute on training personnel for the energy industry.

Preserving traditions, relying on the experience of our predecessors, we must multiply successes and transform the university into a modern scientific and educational hub, make it a comfortable, attractive place for obtaining high-quality knowledge, » Gani Nygymetov stressed.

Gani Nygymetov also spoke about plans to build a new high-tech university building.
