ISSAI Summer Research Program (Nazarbayev University)
Six weeks of full-time AI research at Nazarbayev University, living on campus in Astana. Everything runs in English, the entrance test included, which is a real gate if you study in Kazakh or Russian.
- Computer Science
- Engineering
- Who can enter
- Grades 9–12, or a university student. Taught and tested in English
- What it costs
- Two routes in, and they are not the usual pair: the funded places are won on the assessment test rather than granted on need. Paying instead is 1,200,000 tenge with accommodation or 1,050,000 without, and earlier payment is cheaper. Travel and personal costs are yours either way.
- When it closes
- We could not confirm this year's date against the organiser's own page, so we are not showing a countdown for it. Last published: Applications close in late March, six weeks on campus in June and July; 2027 dates not announced.
Sending this to someone sends the four facts above, not just a name. They will see who can enter and what it costs before they decide.
