The inaugaration of the lecture-room named after F. Sim took place on the 15th September, 2009. The lecture-hall is situated on the 3rd floor of the oldest building of North-Kazakhstan State University. The given choice is explained by the fact that it is the very place where F.

Sim was a great person whom he admired a lot. Expressing-thanks words were also said by M. Nekrasov, Professor of General Biology Department and by N.
