Growing Confidence of the European University Association in Azerbaijani Education
The Western Caspian University (WCU) is further strengthening its position within the European Higher Education Area by expanding its cooperation with the European University Association (EUA). Bringing together approximately 860 member institutions, the Association serves as an important platform for collaboration and development among universities.
One of the University’s notable achievements is the election of the leadership of Western Caspian University to the Standing Membership Committee of the European University Association. This committee plays a key role in shaping the organization’s membership policy and in evaluating new member institutions.
Alongside Western Caspian University, the Standing Membership Committee includes representatives of the following distinguished universities and organizations:
- Tilburg University (Netherlands) – Rector Wim van de Donk (Chair of the Committee)
- University of Iceland – Rector Silja Bára Ómarsdóttir
- European University Association – Secretary General Amanda Crowfoot
- Flemish Interuniversity Council – Secretary General Koen Verlaeckt
This development demonstrates the growing recognition of Western Caspian University at the European level and creates new opportunities for international cooperation, research, and academic advancement.
