From the University Agenda

IGU, which took part in the EAIE fair in France, is developing its collaborations in Europe!

Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) participated in the 34th European Association for International Education (EAIE) International Education Fair held in Toulouse, France between 17-20 September 2024. Alisa Usubova Aliyev, International Exchange and Cooperation Office Coordinator representing Istanbul Gelisim University, took part in the fair.

EAIE, one of the largest higher education fairs in Europe, hosted more than 7000 exhibitors from 110 countries this year. During the fair, Usubova Aliyev held many important meetings within the scope of Erasmus+ agreements, bilateral cooperation agreements and International Credit Mobility projects. These meetings paved the way for new collaborations in line with IGU's internationalization strategy.


IGU increases the number of bilateral agreements!

Istanbul Gelisim University's participation in EAIE, which was held in Spain in 2022, enabled it to be recognized by many universities in Europe and to make strong cooperation agreements. This year's fair will strengthen the prestige of IGU in the international arena and make it more recognized. Important steps were taken to reinforce the existing partnerships of IGU and to increase the number of bilateral agreements, which are more than 450 in more than 50 countries.

During the fair, cooperation negotiations were held with universities from many countries such as Norway, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Czechia, Croatia, Romania, Greece, Georgia, Pakistan, Philippines, Japan and India. Mutual agreements were reached on partnerships in various fields.


Istanbul Gelisim University regularly participates in international fairs and conferences every year with the aim of achieving a better position in international education. These activities strengthen academic collaborations by expanding IGU's global cooperation network. Progressing with the vision of internationalization, Istanbul Gelisim University continues its efforts to increase its recognition on international platforms and worldwide.
