Al-Farabi KazNU and RTSIM: New Opportunities for Practical Training of Future Specialists

The Department of Physical Chemistry, Catalysis and Petrochemistry at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University is developing cooperation with RTSIM to promote the use of digital twins and computer-based simulators in education.

The cooperation began with an in-person meeting between company representatives and the department’s teaching staff. The parties discussed the challenges of training specialists for the chemical and petrochemical industries and opportunities to use digital technologies in teaching and learning.

On 16 October 2026, an online seminar was held at which RTSIM specialists presented the company’s solutions and demonstrated its computer-based simulators.

Particular attention was paid to modelling industrial scenarios, practising operator actions, and exploring opportunities to integrate simulators into specialist courses.

The following faculty members completed an online training course on the RTSIM.Career platform and received certificates of successful completion:

• Ye. A. Aubakirov, Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor;

• Zh. B. Bekisanova, PhD, Research Associate Professor;

• Q. Amantaiuly, Senior Lecturer;

• A. B. Rakhym, PhD, Assistant Professor.

This cooperation contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 4, “Quality Education,” by introducing digital learning tools and developing the practical competencies of future specialists in the chemical and petrochemical industries.

The next step is to integrate a software training course into the educational process to help students master the capabilities of RTSIM.Career.

Successfully mastering the software gives students the opportunity to participate in the “Best RTSIM Digital Technologist – 2026” championship, where they can apply their knowledge using computer-based simulators, test their process control skills, and compete with participants from other educational institutions.
