The Research Center for International and Global Higher Education at Khazar University is a transformative initiative that aims to position the university as a leader in international higher-education research and policy innovation. The Center seeks to advance knowledge transfer, build collaborations across borders, and support the development of policies and practices to enhance the quality and accessibility of higher education worldwide. Focusing on critical global issues such as internationalization, equitable access, digital learning, and quality assurance, the Center will act as a platform for fostering dialogue, collaboration, and innovation.

The Center draws inspiration from these global models while carving its unique identity by

• Regional Focus from a Global Perspective:  While international in scope, it will also address the specific challenges and opportunities in the Caspian and Central Asian regions.
• Innovative Research Themes: The Center will explore topics such as the digital transformation of higher education systems, cross-border academic collaborations, and the role of higher education in regional development.
• Practical Engagement: Beyond academic research, the Center will directly engage policymakers and practitioners to implement research-based solutions in higher education systems.

This positioning ensures that the Center becomes a key player in the global higher education research network while addressing local and regional priorities. It is a hub for scholars, students, and practitioners to engage in meaningful discourses and collaborative projects.
