On April 15, 2025, the “Best Poster Presentation” contest was held at the Science Café as part of Science Week 2025. The event brought together young researchers, students, and faculty members working in the fields of art, choreography, art management, and cultural policy.

The competition became an important platform for presenting research projects carried out as part of the preparation of final qualification works. Participants delivered poster presentations covering pressing topics: from the role of contemporary art in Kazakhstan to modern business models in the theatre industry and the impact of artificial intelligence on visual art.

Eleven Master’s students took part in the competition, each demonstrating a high level of theoretical knowledge, creative thinking, and commitment to interdisciplinary research. The themes of the projects encompassed national choreography, dance directing, ethnic dance culture, art management, visual art, and digital technologies.

The contest served not only as a space to showcase research findings but also as an opportunity for participants to receive professional feedback from the jury, strengthen academic and creative networks, and demonstrate their readiness to defend their master’s theses.

The organizers express their gratitude to all participants for their interest and active engagement. We believe that such initiatives foster a culture of research, open new opportunities for young people, and enhance international dialogue in the field of art.
