This significant scientific and practical event aimed to advance linguistics, refine translation practices and leverage artificial intelligence effectively in a multilingual environment. The forum brought together domestic and international scholars, university faculty, linguists, students and local intellectuals.

During the meeting, special recognition was given to Lyudmila Nikolaevna Belousova's contributions, as she played a pivotal role in establishing the Language Development Department. She led the university's Linguistic Centre for many years, where faculty and students were able to study English, German, French, Korean and other languages free of charge thanks to her initiative. Since 2011, she has served as a lead specialist in simultaneous interpretation at major international conferences. Although now retired, she maintains close ties with her colleagues and continues to follow the achievements of her students.

The forum featured a video about the history and achievements of the Language Development Department. Its head, Aktolkyn Zhamantaeva, then delivered a presentation outlining the department's key operational milestones and future plans. The honoree’s daughter, Olga Anatolyevna, also addressed the audience, expressing her gratitude to the organisers.

Gulnara Karbozova, Vice-Rector for International Cooperation, conveyed congratulations on behalf of the Chairman of the Board and Rector Darkhan Zhumakanuly, emphasising the importance of international scientific collaboration and multilingual education at the university.

The academic programme featured presentations by leading experts:

Bolatbek Tleuberdiyev addressed pressing issues concerning Kazakh speech culture in modern society.

Maigul Shakenova shared insights on integrating AI and media literacy into online course structures.

Gulnara Karbozova analysed the development of intercultural communication through AI technologies.

The event concluded with the presentation of commemorative certificates to all attendees on behalf of the university.
