Centers

This initiative of ours is a joint venture between ADA and State Oil Company of the Azerbaijani Republic (SOCAR). In fact, The Caspian Center for Energy and Environment is endowed by SOCAR. The Center focuses on teaching, research and outreach activities, such as conferences, workshops and round-table discussions.  

As part of CCEE, ADA conducts Baku Summer Energy School for 2 weeks in July. Separate from other school coursework, the Baku Summer Energy School is a certificate program with international recognition. It brings together world-renowned scholars, academicians and experts together with the ADA students and faculty to discuss and gain better understanding of issues of global importance and their practical application.

At ADA, we specialize in preparing our students for a rewarding and accomplished future. This preparation includes exposing our students to ADA’s ample and effective resources for career and leadership development. The Career Management Center provides support to help guide our students through an effective career campaign. The Center offers individual career counseling and helps in charting a course for students’ careers, from job searching through ADA’s extensive professional network, to assisting with jobs and internships tailored to meet their specific career interests. ADA gives the kind of attention to career development that one finds at the world’s most established and prestigious institutions of higher learning. At ADA, not only do we value a strong career development plan, but also strive to link this with a powerful leadership development program.

As part of our international strategy, we plan to have a presence in Washington DC. A potential building will include a resource library, a few classrooms, multi-media center and offices. The world’s recognized universities are based in and around Washington DC. We have developed a strong collaboration with schools at American, Georgetown, George Washington, Johns Hopkins, George Mason universities. By utilizing the latest technology, we plan to invite their faculty to teach a class from our campus in Washington DC to the one in Baku. The technology will also allow our faculty and students to engage in discussions with their colleagues and peers in those universities. The building will have a limited number of guest rooms for use of visiting faculty and students. Visiting faculty can spend a time in Washington DC to engage in research, while students may visit for summer internships.
