The work of the International Scientific and Practical Conference "AIU-2024: Synergy of education, science and artificial intelligence: from idea to practice" contained events in various formats. The Higher School of Art and Design initiated a round table on the topic "Professional design environment: from theory to practice".

Representatives of the professional design community of Astana (Bayandin A., Mukhamedzhanov B., Baisengirov Zh., Alipova M., Omarbayev G.), leading teachers of the Higher School of Art and Design and the AIU Pedagogical College (Kovalev D. A., Bikmukhanova D., Malysheva A. P.) were invited to discuss topical issues of the optimal content of the educational process and its practical implementation, as well as students.

The discussion was substantive and constructive. Problem areas and ways to solve them are outlined in an online presentation by Amirgazin K. Zh. (PhD, Vice-rector for Research at Omsk State University). He emphasized the richness of the traditional culture of any nation, pointed to the material heritage of the Kazakh people as the basis for the development of creative thinking of designers. Bayandin A. (artist, member of the Union of Designers of the Republic of Kazakhstan) gave a description of the most effective means of forming practical skills among students of creative specialties. Mukhamedzhanov B. A. (sculptor, associate professor KazNUI) pointed out the importance of state support for creative professional activity, pointed out the lack of clearly articulated support for the creative environment in the regulatory and legislative acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan. B. E. Ospanov (Professor VSHID AIU) pointed out the flaws of the Bologna system, which is insufficiently adapted for creative specialties, which is the reason for certain problems of practical preparation of students for independent professional activity. Alipova M. (member of the Union of Artisans of the Republic of Kazakhstan) stressed the importance of traditional forms of decorative and applied art for the development of modern forms of design thinking. Khorovetskaya E. M. (Associate Professor of the AIU) outlined in detail the range of problems of one-sided orientation of educational programs "Design", "Architecture", "Industrial and Civil Engineering", which need to be integrated with each other to form a widely practicing educated specialist.
