In 2003 "National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan" public association was established

The Decree of the President Nursultan Nazarbayev approved initiative of Kazakhstan’s leading scientists. The same Decree also abolished "National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan" government institution. The decision to make the National Academy of Sciences the government institution has been ineffective and hasn’t contributed to overcoming the inertness in its activity, search of new approaches to organization of research process. In this regard the Head of State supported the proposition of Academy’s members to make it a public association. At the same time the state will continue supporting development of fundamental and applied researches to achieve its social and economic objectives, progress and social prosperity. On October 22 Constituent Meeting adopted the Charter of public association and elected Academician Marat Zhurinov the President.
