Svetlana Lavrova, Chair of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, spoke at the webinar “Endowment Funds and University Management,” held as part of the new educational project “Powerful Platform for Sharing Experience” by the Kazakhstan League of Academic Integrity at AlmaU.
Svetlana spoke to the heads of more than 20 universities in Kazakhstan about the concept of endowment funds, why an endowment is a key factor in a university’s strategic sustainability, and the relationship between a university’s funding strategy and the professionalization of university management.
Approximately 70 people took part in the webinar. Participants showed particular interest in the pre-revolutionary history of endowments, or “perpetual deposits,” in Kazakhstan.
