International academic discussions enable students to connect their theoretical knowledge with practical tasks, become familiar with different professional approaches, and develop the skills to present and substantiate their conclusions. Undergraduate students of the Academy actively participate in such events, broadening their professional outlook and discussing current issues in law enforcement with foreign experts and their peers.

One such international exchange was a roundtable organised by the Saratov State Law Academy. The online meeting focused on advances in high-tech criminalistics in investigative activities.

The roundtable brought together undergraduate students of the Academy, representatives of Kazakhstan, practitioners in the field of crime investigation, and students of the Saratov State Law Academy. Shahzoda Ahmedova, a first-year student in the Investigation Activity programme, delivered a presentation entitled “Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Criminalistics: From Trace Detection to Evidence Assessment”. Her presentation received high praise from the participants.

During the discussion, Academy students received answers to the questions they had raised.
