Baku State University (BSU) is represented with its own stand in the Azerbaijan Pavilion at the Global Sustainable Development Congress (GSDC), held on June 16–19, 2025, in Istanbul, Türkiye, which brings together the world’s leading higher education and research institutions.

This four-day major international event is jointly organized by the prestigious ranking agency Times Higher Education (THE) and the Turkish Council of Higher Education (YÖK). The congress serves as an important platform for universities, research centers, government bodies, and non-governmental organizations to discuss their activities under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to promote global cooperation, and to identify joint solutions.

At the BSU stand, visitors are introduced to the University’s educational and research initiatives in the field of sustainable development, international cooperation strategies, green campus projects, and climate adaptation efforts. Information is also provided on the activities BSU implements in line with the SDGs, the achievements gained through the University’s internationalization strategy, and opportunities for future collaboration. The interactive discussions around the stand have created valuable opportunities for sharing BSU’s experience and forming new partnerships.

BSU’s participation in such international events significantly contributes to the University’s global recognition, the expansion of scientific collaborations, and the dignified representation of Azerbaijan’s higher education sector on international platforms.
