The "Study in Azerbaijan" education exhibition is being organized at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University in Almaty, Kazakhstan, from April 6–8, 2026. The exhibition is considered an important platform in terms of the international recognition of Azerbaijani universities, the presentation of educational opportunities, and the expansion of academic cooperation.
Within the exhibition, the 2nd Forum of Rectors of Kazakhstani and Azerbaijani Universities was held on April 6. Kazakhstan's Minister of Science and Higher Education Sayasat Nurbek delivered a speech at the opening of the forum.
Keynote addresses were then presented by the ministers of science and education of both countries, followed by a memorandum of cooperation signing ceremony between universities of the two countries.
At the event, Khazar signed memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with two Kazakhstani universities — Astana International University and Karaganda Technical University named after Abylkas Saginov.
A delegation from Khazar University is also participating in the forum and exhibition. Khazar University is represented by Rector Dr. Razia Isaeva, Director of the Quality Assurance Center Lyudmila Sotova, and Head of the International Relations Office Firuz Suleymanov.
Within the framework of the forum, rectors of Azerbaijani and Kazakhstani universities delivered speeches and discussed prospects for cooperation in the field of education. These discussions are aimed at further strengthening academic ties between the two countries.
During the visit, in an interview with a local television channel, Raziya Isayeva emphasized the purpose of participating in the education exhibition, the university's higher education opportunities, the conditions created for international students, and Khazar University's interest in pursuing dual degree programs, student and academic staff exchanges, joint scientific research, and other areas of academic cooperation with Kazakhstani universities.
It should be noted that the "Study in Azerbaijan" exhibition not only presents opportunities for students and young professionals to receive quality education abroad, but also makes a contribution to the development of scientific and academic cooperation among countries.
