The Kazakhstan Sociology Lab, established by the El Umiti Foundation in 2023, is an educational and research center dedicated to fostering expertise in social sciences and advancing evidence-based policymaking. The lab focuses on three primary areas: organizing the "Sociology School" project to engage and educate participants, conducting research on topics related to education, employment, social policy, public health, and contributing to public discourse by actively communicating findings from social science research as public intellectuals. These initiatives aim to bridge academic knowledge and evidence-based policy approach.
