Most applicants choose a university based on its social media presence, website, rankings, and their parents’ advice. On September 23, 2026, inVision U opens its doors to everyone: the public day of the “Leadership in the Age of AI” forum is free and open, offering direct access to faculty, students, and world-class speakers. For those considering applying in 2027, the forum provides a clear picture of the university they might be able to join:

‍

- You won’t be joining an experiment - you’ll be joining a university with a history.

By the time you enroll, inVision U will already have held its second world-class public forum, officially launched its undergraduate programs, and graduated its two classes of Foundation Year students into bachelor’s degree programs.

‍

- You will study in an environment where the best set the terms of the discussion.

Brian Uzzi of Kellogg and Wadia Ait Hamza of Mohamed bin Zayed University are an indication of the level of academic discussion considered standard here.

‍

- You will be a participant, not a spectator.

The forum demonstrates this literally: first-year students will join a panel alongside world-class practicing leaders. In 2027, you could find yourself in the same role.

‍

- AI will be part of your education from day one.

The forum establishes inVision U’s educational position: leadership in the age of AI. Your program will be built around this very understanding.

‍

- You will gain access to a network unlike that of any other university in Kazakhstan.

The Advisory Board, forum speakers, and partners are all part of the community you join when you enroll at inVision U. Your international connections will begin forming from the first semester, not after graduation.

inVision U’s Five Programs and How the Forum Reveals Each One

‍

The forum covers topics directly related to each of the five programs:

‍

1 - Creative Engineering: engineering thinking, the design of physical objects, and work at the intersection of mechanics and digital technologies - exactly what the program led by Maria Liee (UCL Bartlett) teaches.

‍

2 - Innovative IT Design and Development: UX, development, and AI in product design for those who create digital products rather than simply write code. The program is led by Aliya Asanbekova, a finalist of Dive into Silicon Valley.

‍

3 - Sociology: Leadership and Innovation : Leadership and Innovation: research into leadership potential, impact measurement, and behavioral science directly reflect the methodology of the program led by Dinara Abildenova (PhD, University of Zurich).

‍

4 - Public Policy and Development: foresight, public administration, and international organizations - the role of institutions in developing leaders is a theme that runs throughout the forum. The program is led by Anel Kulakhmetova, PhD Cambridge University and a UNICEF consultant.

‍

5 - Digital Media and Marketing: forum media coverage, content, and communications - students in this program are already working with the forum as a real media event. The program is led by Vyacheslav Abramov, one of the most wide-ranging media professionals in Kazakhstan.
