National Analytical CenterThe National Analytical Center of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NAC) is a new name in Kazakhstans consultancy market. The Center was set up in 2007.

The Center provides consultancy in the form of large-scale research projects on public management and by providing information requested by the Prime Ministers Office and other government authorities. It offers comprehensive ready-made solutions using its knowledge and international experience as well as objective macroeconomic and forecasting data and information on the development of the financial and real sectors, as well as of human capital.

The model of integrated academic healthcare system One of Nazarbayev Universitys strategic goals is to establish an integrated academic healthcare system comprising hospitals of the National Medical Holding (NMH), Center for Life Sciences (CLS) and the future School of Medicine. The ambition is to become a regional leader and flagship of the modernization of Kazakhstans national health care system.

Creating a world-class medical center requires significant resources and time. Hospitals need to be integrated within a single system. Managing the system effectively will require an organization that avoids duplicating services and functions, merges financial flows and outsources effectively. To accomplish this, the consolidation of a modular infrastructure, and administrative and support services based on a new corporate information system, will be phased in. A universal logistics center is also planned. Unification of the organizational structure, business processes, and qualification requirements will enhance the quality of medical services and improve economic

efficiency, allowing branch organizations to focus on medical, scientific and educational activities.

There are five primary value propositions that form the foundation of integrated academic medical centers. These five value propositions are magnified by IAHSs potential to create capabilities that are both wide (i.e. horizontally integrated) and deep (i.e. vertically integrated).

It will achieve competitiveness for its medical services in the global market by connecting with the global scientific and clinical community, and integrating clinical, research, and educational activities within the academic health system of Nazarbayev University.

It will work with other parts of Kazakhstans health provision system to transfer knowledge and improve services.

22

generation of knowledge and new technologies demanded by the real sector;

development of engineering capacity in the country;

transfer and commercialization of new technologies;

creation of new jobs for the graduates of Nazarbayev University.

The main elements of the IIC include a Commercialization Office, a Business Incubator, an Engineering Center, a Technopark, a Science Park, and Venture Funds.

NAZARBAYEV UNIVERSITY IN 2020Strategic goalsGoal I: Educational reform leadershipTo ensure that the lessons of Nazarbayev Universitys experience are transferred and understood by other universities, schools, and research centers

Goal II: Academic excellenceTo achieve Nazarbayev Universitys mission by developing and maintaining academic excellence

Goal III: Research excellenceTo develop a program of world-class research by partnering with the worlds best researchers and research institutions

Goal IV: Creating a model for healthcare servicesTo establish a healthcare system that will provide a model for healthcare services throughout Kazakhstan

Goal V: Innovation and translating research into productionTo become Kazakhstans main driver of innovation, leading the way for Astana to become a regional hub of innovation

By 2020 Nazarbayev University will have had 6 graduating classes or some 3,000 plus students with an undergraduate degree.

In terms of enrolment, by 2020 the student body will comprise around 4,000 undergraduate students and more than 2,000 graduate students, with about 15 percent of graduate students pursuing a doctoral degree. For the graduates who prefer to enter the job market, NU will have set up a placement tracking system that will track the careers of students in categories such as international corporations, Kazakhstani firms, government agencies, teaching, research, own business or partnerships, not- for-profit organizations, media and politics.

The research centers will have established themselves as centers of excellence beyond Kazakhstans borders. NUs research, while reflecting the diversity of faculty interest, will also have made an impact on key strategic priorities of Kazakhstan, e.g. in energy, in particular renewable and alternative

energy sources, bio-medical research and technologies, computational sciences and robotics, and communication technologies. The 2017 EXPO will give energy-related research and concepts a boost throughout Kazakhstan, but will also provide NU with a platform to showcase early results of translational/ applied research into innovative energy technologies and solutions. The technology and science parks surrounding NU will have created a full system to support researchers with access to finance and with entrepreneurial advice. Climate change and sustainable development/green economy will take center stage as meta-themes for NUs research community, pushing Astanas emergence as a preeminent research and development center in Eurasia.

NU Medicine, NUs integrated academic health care system will have established itself as a national brand, developing a new generation of physicians, nurses, researchers and hospital managers. High quality health care services and research will attract medical tourists from Eurasia to Astana.

Through the sharing of NUs experience, about one third of universities in Kazakhstan will have embarked on institutional and quality reforms patterned after NU, anchored in academic freedom, institutional autonomy with clearly articulated accountabilities. The educational and research eco-system that NU will have built-up will have made a profound difference to Kazakhstans education and research system as a whole, thus documenting the validity of the original concept launched a decade earlier.

In summary, while NUs growth and development will have just started to hit its stride, by 2020 NU will appear in the upper third of various international university ranking league tables.

This is what Nazarbayev University strives for.
