From Apples to Entrepreneurship
Central Asia is the ancestral homeland of the apple. Over the past decade, a team of scientists from Washington State University and Al-Farabi Kazakh National University conducted groundbreaking research on apple genomics to combat future crop diseases. Leadership at Washington State University’s Carlson College of Business saw an opportunity to advance business education with higher education institutions in Kazakhstan, given the existing research collaborations.
With a grant awarded through the Central Asia University Partnerships Program (UniCEN), administered by American Councils and funded by the U.S. Department of State through the Embassy in Kazakhstan, the Carlson College of Business expanded its partnerships with Narxoz University and Eurasian National University in the areas of business research, curriculum, education, and pedagogy.
Innovation is a key focal point for Washington State’s economic engine, as it is home to global technology and media companies that began as startups. In 2018, the government of Kazakhstan launched Digital Kazakhstan, a $1 billion initiative to accelerate the digital economy.

Healing the Soil and Protecting the Environment for Future Generations
The northern steppes of Kazakhstan are a land of two extremes: stretches of pristine natural beauty and patches of contaminated post-industrial landscapes. Less than 100 miles from the Ekibastuz, the industrial heartland of northern Kazakhstan, the Bayanaul mountain range teems with flora and fauna. But the future of the region depends on removing toxic substances from the environment and protecting resources for future generations.
With a grant awarded through the Central Asia University Partnerships Program (UniCEN), administered by American Councils and funded by the U.S. Department of State through the Embassy in Kazakhstan, a team of scientists from State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) and Toraighyrov University launched research collaborations in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration. Researchers exchanged knowledge of the common characteristics of wetlands, forests, and soils and the potential for the remediation of damaged habitat.

👏 Congratulations to our Faculty Enrichment Program (FEP) fellows, Mamurahon Yuldasheva and Aziza Musoeva on the completion of the CETL program, which is designed for educators who are interested in expanding their knowledge about teaching, learning, and instructional technology.
FEP is a visiting scholar program that was launched in Uzbekistan to enhance the pedagogical skills and professional disciplinary expertise of faculty members. While on the FEP, fellows will engage in curriculum development, explore alternative teaching methodologies, expand their knowledge in their fields of study, and gather new teaching materials and resources.
