“We invite you to immerse yourselves in the world of higher education in the European Union,” said Marijana Kujundzic, Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Azerbaijan. “Education Shapes Destiny – Taleyini Təhsil Yazsın” is the slogan of this year’s education fair. Education is the foundation of opportunity and we invite young generation of Azerbaijan to discover opportunities for higher education in the European Union.”

At the official opening ceremony of the exhibition, Deputy Minister of Science and Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan Hasan Hasanli noted that within the framework of the “2022–2028 State Program,” nearly 200 Azerbaijani students are currently studying at European universities. He highlighted the opportunities created by this initiative and emphasized its importance. The Deputy Minister also mentioned that bilateral cooperation is being implemented through intergovernmental scholarship programs with several European countries, including Latvia, Hungary, and Romania. Information was also shared on existing partnerships between Azerbaijani higher education institutions and European universities, including joint degree programmes, collaborative research projects, and faculty and student exchanges.

The “Study in Europe” Education Fair is taking place as part of a wider education campaign of the EU Delegation. It is also part of a larger, wide-reaching EU-Azerbaijan partnership. The EU has been supporting Azerbaijan’s education sector with 29 projects.
