Since fall 2020, the Centre for Research & Graduate Education (CRGE) of Kazakh-German University (DKU) has facilitated a range of activities. It develops and organizes events which support faculty, students and young scholars within and outside the DKU as they build and improve their academic writing and research skills - both online and face-to-face. To achieve this objective, we have initially partnered with the Oxus Society for Central Asian Affairs, with whom we have jointly organized a number of courses for early career researchers. We also offer methods classes. The CRGE helps foster research particularly in the social sciences and contributes to the development and maintenance of research cooperation with other academic institutions in Central Asia and beyond. CRGE staff carry out several research projects on their own. The CRGE also runs the Social Science Colloquium. In addition, it organizes the DKU Affiliate Research Fellows Program, which provides the opportunity for scholars from other universities to come to Almaty as visiting researchers to enrich the DKU community. Moreover, the Centre publishes the DKU Occasional Papers series. It is an institutional member of the OSCE Network of Think Tanks and Academic Institutions. Further, the centre regularly offers information events about “Studying in Germany”, with detailed information primarily for undergraduate students, offering everything you need to know if you want to study in Germany, including scholarship opportunities.
