   Целью исследования является изучение роли ассоциаций выпускников университетов в достижении целей устойчивого развития (ЦУР), сформулированных Организацией Объединенных Наций, с акцентом на критерии, которые определяют устойчивую ассоциацию выпускников и их влияние на деятельность университетов и более широкую экономическую практику и практику управления.

   Методология исследования. Для сбора данных используются качественные методологии, включая глубинные интервью и экспертные оценки.

   Оригинальность / ценность исследования заключается в том, что оно сосредоточено на пересечении ассоциаций выпускников университетов и целей устойчивого развития, области, которая получила ограниченное внимание в академическом дискурсе. Предоставляя всесторонний анализ и практические рекомендации, это исследование предлагает ценную информацию для университетов, особенно в контексте Казахстана, повышая их стратегическое соответствие глобальным целям устойчивого развития.

   Результаты. Полученные данные обеспечивают понимание взглядов экспертов на критерии, определяющие эффективность ассоциаций выпускников. Полученные выводы тщательно обоснованы математическими расчетами и выливаются в конкретные рекомендации, направленные на укрепление будущих усилий ассоциаций выпускников. Исследование контекстуализируется в рамках университета в Казахстане, предлагая практические идеи и выводы для экономической и управленческой практики в современном академическом мире.

   The purpose of the study is to explore the role of university alumni associations in aligning with the sustainable development goals (SDGs) articulated by the United Nations, emphasizing the criteria that defi ne a sustainable alumni association and their impact on university operations and broader economic and management practices.

   Methodology

   Methodology. Emphasis is placed on elucidating criteria that characterize a sustainable alumni association. This is complemented by a comprehensive analysis utilizing qualitative research methodologies, including indepth interviews and expert assessments.

   Originality / value of the research lies in its focus on the intersection of university alumni associations and sustainable development goals, an area that has received limited attention in academic discourse.

   Findings

   Findings. The derived conclusions are rigorously substantiated through mathematical computations, culminating in actionable recommendations aimed at fortifying the future endeavors of alumni associations. The study is contextualized within the framework of a university in Kazakhstan, off ering practical insights and implications for economic and management practices in the contemporary academic landscape.
