The 1st International Scientific Conference "Science and Practice. Knowledge. Understanding. Wisdom" was held in April 2025, bringing together researchers and students from two countries: Russia and India. Among the participants were students from the KNRTU Institute of Petroleum, Chemistry and Nanotechnologies —Arthur Akhsanov, Ekaterina Ezhelenko, and Danil Tukbayev. They took part in the conference under the guidance of Associate Professor from the Department of Physics Asiya Y. Sadykova.

"From the very beginning of my studies at the university, I knew I didn’t want to only learn the theory—I wanted to apply knowledge in practice. When I heard about the launch of the 'Interactive Corridor' project on foreign technology research in the Department of Physics, I immediately decided to join. First, it’s a chance to explore how technology is advancing in other countries—somewhere, breakthrough startups are emerging; elsewhere, smart cities or revolutionary medical solutions are being implemented. Second, such project is a great opportunity to enhance my skills. Data analysis, teamwork, presenting results—all of this will be useful in my future career. Finally, I’m simply curious about how technology is transforming different societies, particularly in India, which is striving to become a leader in certain fields of knowledge," shared Arthur Akhsanov.

The results of the team’s first research paper, "Choice and Education. Technologies of India," were published in an English-language conference proceedings collection. The research paper itself was honored with a 1st Degree Diploma.
