This month, "Serpin" takes you through the transformative landscapes of business and entrepreneurship in Kazakhstan.

February has been a busy month at NURCE, with the 2024 international conference, "Impact Central: Bridging Social Development and Entrepreneurship." The conference focused on impactful narratives and creating opportunities for social impact by bringing together academics and society for two days of sessions.
Looking at the work that NURCE does to teach
entrepreneurship with impact, to the way that students have taken what they learned in the classroom to spread awareness of the social
issues facing their community, this edition of Serpin is about the powerful importance of
impactful teaching.
April brought warmer temperatures in Kazakhstan, and the launch of NURCE’s new book “Trailblazers of the Steppes: Inspiring Stories of Kazakhstani Businesswomen.” This new book exemplifies the theme of this month’s newsletter impactful narratives.
In this issue, we will reflect on NURCE
and the impact that it has had on the
individuals that shape NURCE, and their goals
and motivations to impact the world around them.
In this issue of Serpin, various members of NURCE will discuss these issues and more about how they scale their impact, and provide helpful information for researchers who are struggling to figure out how to scale their own research.
This month, introduce a series of interviews that discuss how NURCE is perceived and how researchers at Nazarbayev University innovate
through their own research. This issues also discusses the innovative work that NURCE is doing across Central Asia on entrepreneurship, through the lens of women, decolonization, and green entrepreneurship. The diverse individuals in NURCE, each with their
own research interests and goals, come together under the umbrella of NURCE to make a difference.
