PLATFORM project (Swedish Institute) organizes the web-based course “Conceptual Case-Study Modeling for Project Collaboration”

The University of Gothenburg, Sweden and Khazar University, partner institutes (including Khazar University) under the PLATFORM project (Swedish Institute) organizes the web-based course “Conceptual Case-Study Modeling for Project Collaboration” on May 3-19, 2021.

This web-based course introduces conceptual modeling tools to promote system understanding when dealing with complex issues, such as societal resource management where multiple disciplines, stakeholders and processes are involved. The overall aim of this course and this “system perspective” is to help initiate projects and bring together the actors that can jointly develop strategies for problem definition, appropriate methodology and project opportunities. The PLATFORM network will propose several case studies for development. This is a “hands-on” course, and the participants are expected to actively get involved in the development of one of the proposed case studies. All course participants will receive a certificate! The PLATFORM website provides more information.

Azerbaijan through the eyes of Mr. Juan Rodrigo Labardini Flores, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United Mexican States to the Republic of Azerbaijan

Dear students, we invite you to the Instagram page of Mr. Ambassador (Instagram: @rodrigolabardini).

Mr. Ambassador: The photographs are a reflection of the journey that started with pictures I took of my son born 21 years ago. I liked the photographs because he is my son. But to be frank, deep inside me I knew the photographs were lacking several elements, composition, creativity, lighting, and many other issues. Starting at that time, I began the quest to find the perfect photo for my children. Ever since, I have been in this saga, making several mistakes, and learning the hard way. While there will always be opportunities to improve and develop a better picture, it all seems to come to fruition. You will see the results on my Instagram account (@rodrigolabardini). I am posting one picture daily, mainly from Azerbaijan, but there will be occasional pictures from other places I have visited during my life. The pictures of Azerbaijan are presented follow the general idea of “Azerbaijan, from within, from outside”, since I am currently living in Azerbaijan, but I am from outside. They present the same places and some new ones, but with a different air. Hence, they also portray the Azerbaijan that has surprised and amazed me, as I have seen and lived in a city that surpasses imagination, food that mesmerizes all of us and makes us want to savor more and to uncover the paths to views and life.

Maryam’s story

I am Maryam Adli, 2nd year of Ph.D. Student at Khazar University. I completed my BBA in Afghanistan and during the studies I have worked in Human Resources positions with USAID Projects and International Organizations. In addition, I studied Project Management Professionals (PMP) at the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF) in 2015;

Then we moved to Baku, Azerbaijan with my family in 2016. I was searching for my further studies and fortunately found Khazar University Website then applied for an MBA of KUISP. Luckily, I got a full scholarship through the International Scholarship Program of Khazar University (2017). During my master’s program, I also applied to Mevlana Exchange Program and studied my 3rd Semester of MBA at Selcuk University in Turkey.  

After Master’s Thesis Defense (July 2019) I applied for Ph.D. Program at Khazar University and once again Successfully received the full Excellence Scholarship which was “A dream came true” 😍. So, I started my Ph.D. program in September 2019 under the supervision of Professor. Mahammad Nuriyev (Vice-Rector of KU) and co-supervision of Dr. Jeyhun Mammadov (Dean of the School of Economics and Management, KU). During my main Research, I published 2 Research papers in International Journals and the 3rd one is about to finish. Below you can find the links to my published papers:
