ENU conducted a training through the Nexus Simulation Game

On October 3-4, the European Union-funded project "Nexus Dialogue in Central Asia" together with USAID Regional Water and Vulnerable Environment Activity conducted a training on the interactions between water, energy, food and environment security through the Nexus Simulation Game for the faculty members of the Gumilyov Eurasian National University.

The Nexus Simulation Game represents a facilitated process of playing five different scenarios for developing the territories upstream and downstream while addressing water needs of population, industry and agriculture and taking into account climate change challenges. It is a good training tool for policy makers to practice how different water management policies could facilitate sustainable development in harmony with the environment. 

It is expected that the Nexus Simulation will complement the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes of the Gumilyov Eurasian National University. To this end, memorandum of cooperation was signed and two sets of the Nexus Simulation was handed over to the university.
