Dear teachers, staff, students, alumni and partners of the Innovative University of Eurasia! So 2020 is becoming  history. On the threshold of a new future, everyone makes wishes. We are not an exception, we are summing up the results and setting new goals.

In the past year, the life of InEU in all its diversity was determined by the Strategy for strengthening the scientific and educational potential of InEU as a modern multidisciplinary regional university focused on the generation of innovations and staff.

Following state development programs and internal strategic documents, InEU is represented in the international ranking QS, Webometrics. In addition, the university has successfully passed the institutional and specialized accreditation of 27 bachelor's degree programs, 13 master's degrees and 1 PhD doctoral program in the Independent Kazakhstan Agency for Quality Assurance in Education and the National Agency for Accreditation and Rating, of which 5 bachelor's programs and 3 master's degrees were accredited in 2020 for 5 years, which is the highest possible result. Also, with a positive result in 2020, the university participated in the rating of educational programs conducted by the NPP Atameken, out of 17 educational programs, 7 are at the top of the rating. In the institutional rating of multidisciplinary universities, according to NAOKO InEU, it ranks 12th, in the rating of educational programs out of 10 educational programs, 9 programs are included in the top 10 in the country.

The calendar of the outgoing year is permeated with a "red thread" of important strategic decisions in many areas of the university's activities.

This is filling the portfolio of unique educational programs for bachelor's degree (Sports and Anti-Doping Support, Project Management, Landscape Design, Electrical Equipment and Electrical Facilities of Enterprises, Organizations and Institutions, Technological Equipment for Production Processes, Standardization, Certification and Metrological Support; Automation and Robotics) and Master's (Linguistics, Human resource management; Management Business Administration (EMBA), Business Administration (MBA)) for the region. A clear confirmation of the relevance and quality of the educational services provided is the employment rate of university graduates in the first year after graduation, according to the EPPF, which amounted to 91%.

This is the implementation of 6 international scientific and educational projects through the European Union (Erasmus +), the US Department of State and two projects of grant financing of the Science Committee of the MON RK for a total amount of more than 120 million tenge. On the basis of the university, a regional STEM training hub for schools in the city of Pavlodar was created.

We will remember 2020 as a year of active immersion in the field of online learning, developing educational content, conducting online scientific conferences, webinars and competitions. Life in digital format did not prevent university scientists from publishing 307 scientific papers, 18 of which are included in the high-ranking foreign scientific databases Scopus and Web of Science, 76 - in other foreign publications, 59 in publications included in the KKSON List, 41 - in a scientific journal “Vestnik inEU”, 129 - in other Kazakhstani editions.

Despite the conditions of the pandemic, students, undergraduates, doctoral students, the teaching staff of the Innovative University of Eurasia participated in programs of internal and external academic mobility, scientific internships, painlessly managing to switch to a distance learning format.

For 5 years already InEU has been a member of the ERG project "Development of Entrepreneurial Universities", which allows developing student start-ups, even with the possibility of establishing partnerships in the United States of America.

And many many others achievements…

Of course, decisions of an organizational and managerial nature dictated by the global challenges of a modernly unprecedented rapidly changing world make this year "special" as well. In general, the old year can be considered a springboard capable of providing the new management team at the head of the InEU team with the necessary impetus for the entire 2021, which promises to be very, very important.

If we look back, we have done a lot, we have managed a lot. First of all, the Innovative University of Eurasia owes its success to all of you, each of you. Our solidarity, common focus on high quality education and new achievements help to preserve and strengthen the high reputation of InEU as one of the leading multidisciplinary universities in the country. Armed with the experience of the past, much remains to be done, and  InEU team can have only one forecast - an optimistic one! And you can be sure that in the New year 2021, despite the upcoming new tests, everything we dream of today will definitely come true!

 May the coming year be bright, generous and prosperous! May he bring to each of you everything a person needs for happiness: the warmth of the hearth, peace, love and attention of loved ones, friends and colleagues, health, strength and energy for new discoveries, next deeds and achievements!
