Day of Science is observed in Kazakhstan every April 12, a celebration established by Presidential Decree in 2011, with the first event taking place in 2012. This day marks the completion of the first year of a new law on science that aimed to build a national scientific system, introducing new financial and administrative branches in the field. The Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences, founded in 1946 and headquartered in Almaty, is the main scientific organization involved in this observance, with Professor Murat Zhurinov serving as its president since 2003. The roots of scientific institutions in Kazakhstan trace back to the early 20th century, including the establishment of agricultural research stations and the Institute for Sanitary and Bacteriology in 1925. The celebration highlights the importance of scientific advancement and the contributions of various institutions to the country's scientific landscape.
