The Institute organised the first academic research into the history, archeology, literature, folklore, linguistic ties of the Turkic people, fine art, music, theater, and choreography of Kazakhstan. This marked the beginning of the development of a number of the largest Kazakhstani research organisations based on KazRIC and these organisations remain the foundation of academic science to this day.
