On 17 June 2019 an Executive Course on Export Control started at the M. Narikbayeb KAZGUU University with the support of ISTC, in the framework of the Targetted Initiative on CBRN export control.

Dr. Miras Daulenov, Ptrovost, Deputy Chairman of the Board of KAZGUU University, welcomed the participants in the course, noting the useful cooperation with ISTC under the Memorandum of Cooperation. Dr. Kamen Velichkov, SPM and DA, greeted the participants on behalf of ISTC.

Over the next two weeks, participants from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Armenia, Pakistan and Georgia will study the core concepts of Export control, starting with the very basic knowledge about CBRN weapons, its regulatory framework, science and technology transfers, trends and risks, etc.

Since the participants belong mainly to universities, the main objective of this course is not only for them to learn about the topic, but to develop on their own countries educational programs on the topic of export control with the support of ISTC.
