The “Innovative Ideas” competition was held in the Atyrau Region to support talented youth and develop their scientific research and inventive potential. Specialists from West Dala — environmental engineer Aigul Sagiyeva and chief technologist Minara Massalimova — were invited to serve as members of the jury.
A lecture on “Waste Management and Spill Response” was held at Kh. Dosmukhamedov University.
Environmental specialists from West Dala — Ainagul Sagiyeva and Islam Sagynbayev — conducted an engaging session with students, highlighting the key principles of environmentally responsible waste management. The focus was on modern approaches to safe disposal, reducing environmental impact, and the role of business in building a sustainable environment.
The practical part attracted particular interest. Students were introduced to the operation of an OSR (Oil Spill Response) kit used for rapid spill containment and cleanup. Participants not only observed the process but also explored real-life response algorithms — from localization to full remediation.
The lecture was delivered in an interactive format, including open dialogue, case analysis, and discussion of real industry challenges. Students actively participated, asked insightful questions, and tested their knowledge during a mini-session. The most engaged participants received memorable gifts.
Such meetings are not only about knowledge exchange but also a meaningful contribution to developing the professional mindset of future specialists who will face modern environmental challenges.
