"In the Footsteps of Al-Farabi"

В период с 30 марта по 7 апреля 2020 года состоится международная научная экспедиция «По следам Аль-Фараби», посвящённая 1150-летию одного из крупнейших представителей средневековой восточной философии – Аль-Фараби. Экспедиция запланирована по территориям Казахстана, Узбекистана, Туркменистана и Ирана. Члены экспедиции проследуют по историческим местам, где родился, вырос, получил образование и трудился выдающийся философ Востока. В состав экспедиции войдут 54 человека, представляющие научно-академическую сферу Казахстана.

During the expedition's stay in Turkmenistan, Kazakh scientists will visit historical sites of ancient Merv, where Al-Farabi lived, studied and worked. Upon the expedition's arrival in Ashgabat, it is planned to organize an international scientific and practical conference "In the footsteps of Al-Farabi: Merv" with the participation of representatives of mass media, diplomatic corps, creative and scientific intellectuals of Turkmenistan. Kazakh and Turkmen scientists engaged in the study of Al-Farabi's heritage will speak at the conference.

International scientific symposium "Al-Farabi and world civilization" will be held in the capital of Kazakhstan on May 27, 2020 under the auspices of UNESCO, TURKSOY and ISESCO (Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) with the participation of leading Kazakh and foreign scientists, heads of universities and others. Also, Turkmen scholars of Farabi are planning to take part in the symposium.

It should be noted that this year an international conference dedicated to the heritage of Al-Farabi under the auspices of UNESCO, with the participation of the world's leading experts in the humanities, is scheduled to be held in Paris.

Al-Farabi's life is a unique example of striving for knowledge, understanding the world and the meaning of life. The wisdom of the great teacher is very relevant and has great meaning today.
