During the first ten years since its inception, ADA University has received generous support of the Government of Azerbaijan in the form of significant capital investment for building a world-class campus. This support has also ensured ADA’s continuous promise to quality. The University’s goal is to ultimately become self-sufficient. We are investing in the future of our institution through ADA University Foundation, an endowment-building arm of ADA University. In 2015, we teamed up with one of the world’s leading consulting firms, McKinsey and Co, in order to develop a roadmap that would lead the university to its vision of becoming a world-class university in Azerbaijan. The outcome of this effort was “ADA 2025: 10-year strategic plan” that puts forward nine strategic objectives to better accomplish our mission and vision.
“Innovate the learning environment by enhancing applied knowledge and engaging a process that would lead to the transformation of our students through relevant skills and program offerings”
“Afford our students with global leadership potential by providing them with an international perspective in a diverse environment and with a sound support system”
“Attract, develop and retain the best faculty who truly share the ADA vision and excel in innovative teaching; also support their research efforts selectively and in prioritized areas”
“Employ and develop a highly competent staff team that operate most effectively with a sense of belonging, norms of ethics and belief in a culture of excellence”
“Build a global presence by increasing diversity of faculty, students and staff, ensuring their alignment and mobility, and develop a strong presence outside Azerbaijan”
“Build a differentiated, consistent, sustainable and high impact branding strategy that will help us to achieve our vision by acquiring a strong global positioning, by attracting the best talent, by achieving success in fundraising and by enhancing ADA reputation among opinion leaders and key constituencies”
“Help build university resources,while also promoting innovation and entrepreneurship, transfer of knowledge and technology via maximum utilization of high-impact talent”
“Establish a favorable governance model that sustains a culture of excellence, continuously strengthens the quality of leadership and delegates the authority to empower people”
“Diversify ADA’s sources of funding in order to be more financially sustainable and autonomous; also continue building a world-class campus which ensures a high-quality lifestyle and provides advanced services and technology"”
