I’m Rashid Nadirov, and I’m the head of the Department of General and Inorganic Chemistry at al-Farabi Kazakh National University (Kazakhstan).
If you google al-Farabi Kazakh National University, you will find out that this university is at the 220th place in the global ranking of universities QS. Not very high, but ...
I would like to know the opinion of the community about this.
Is it possible for a university with a not very large budget to become a top technical university? Take, for example, the coolest technical university - MIT. Is it possible for an ordinary university to approach it in terms of the development of science and teaching without spending million tons of dollars?
