The visit is aimed at strengthening cooperation between the scientific circles of Great Britain and Kazakhstan in the road construction industry. Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory is one of the leading ones in Europe and the world, and cooperation with British partners and the transfer of state-of-the-art technologies will help bring Kazakhstan's road industry to a qualitatively new level, using the experience gained as part of the implementation of the Nurly Zhol state infrastructure development program in 2020-2025.
Also, during this visit, the results of bitumen testing at low temperatures were presented and discussed for the first time.
