The World Congress of Mechanics and Engineers WCMSE–2026 is taking place at the National Academy of Sciences under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Almaty from November 3 to 5. More than 500 representatives of scientific organizations and industrial enterprises from 18 countries gathered at the event's venue. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Kazakhstan.
The congress was organized with the support of the National Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan, the U. Dzholdasbekov Institute of Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering, and Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, among others. The main goal of the conference is to discuss advanced scientific achievements in mechanics, robotics, and digital technologies, as well as the expansion and strengthening of international cooperation.
During WCMSE–2026, mathematical modeling and machine learning methods, as well as artificial intelligence technologies for industry, were presented. In addition, specialists addressed the topic of training new engineering personnel and implementing the results of scientific research into manufacturing.
President of the National Academy of Sciences Akhylbek Kurishbayev stated that Kazakh scientists are working in sectors vital to the economy. In particular, they participate in programs aimed at extending the service life of highways, develop new materials based on rare and rare-earth metals, help manage water resources using the digital AI platform DeepBAS, and assess seismic risks through the SeismoAI RiskNet system.
He also emphasized that expanding international scientific cooperation, integrating AI at all stages of research, and bringing scientific developments to industrial application are the academy’s key priorities.
A scientific and technical exhibition is operating within the framework of the congress, with more than 100 exhibits on display. These include industrial developments, experimental models of machinery and mechanisms, and robotics.
The press service of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education noted that WCMSE–2026 has become an important platform for strengthening the link between fundamental science and practical engineering, as well as enhancing industrial potential.
