International Alumni Association
The International Association of Foreign Alumni Association of Azerbaijani Universities was established on September 8, 2018 as a result of a large number of applications received from foreign graduates of Azerbaijani universities. The founders of the Association are ADA University, Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University and Azerbaijan University of Languages. The Association brings together foreign alumni who were educated in Azerbaijan up to date. Since 1991 (after regaining independence), more than 15,000 foreign students from different countries of the world studied in Azerbaijan. The main purpose of the establishment of the Association is to unite foreign alumni educated in Azerbaijan, to establish contacts between foreign students and universities, to attract interested individuals and organizations to cooperation with foreign alumni, to achieve socially beneficial goals and promote education in Azerbaijan. The partners of the Association are the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijan International Development Agency (AIDA) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The first meeting of foreign alumni being educated in Azerbaijan and currently holding high positions in their own countries, is scheduled to be organized within the VI Baku International Humanitarian Forum to be held on October 25-26, 2018.
