SDU University Launches SSBL Students Research Community
SDU University’s School of Social Sciences, Business and Law (SSBL) has officially launched the SSBL Students Research Community.
The new community is designed to encourage student-led research and create an environment where students can begin exploring academic work. Members will be able to develop their own ideas, contribute to research projects, discuss current academic questions, strengthen their academic writing and connect with scholars and experts.
The initiative was founded by Madina Yessirkepova, Deputy Dean for Research at the School of Social Sciences, Business and Law.
“Research at a university should not be limited to faculty members and established researchers. Students also need opportunities to propose ideas, try research for themselves, work in teams and gradually shape their academic path. For some of our students, this community may become the first step towards a meaningful research career,” Madina Yessirkepova said.
The SSBL Students Research Community will host meetings with Kazakhstani and international scholars, guest lectures, research seminars, collaborative projects and other academic events. Its activities will also support students in developing research skills, preparing publications, participating in conferences and building professional academic networks.
The launch marks the beginning of a long-term initiative to involve more students in research and strengthen the school’s academic culture. The community will provide a space where student ideas can grow into meaningful research.
