About Us

A Community Built on Connection

Supporting Azerbaijani students and representing culture at Shanghai Jiao Tong University since early 2025.

Our Mission

We were created in early 2025 to combine and unite all Azerbaijani students across all campuses of SJTU. We aim to build a reliable peer network for academic and everyday support, help new students integrate smoothly, and create a strong sense of community. In parallel, we promote Azerbaijani culture through respectful representation and participation in university-wide activities.

🤝

Community Support

Practical help, peer guidance, and a welcoming environment for new and current students navigating life at SJTU.

🎭

Cultural Representation

Participation in festivals and events that bring Azerbaijani culture to the wider SJTU community with pride.

🌐

Peer Network

Connecting students across Minhang and Xuhui campuses so no one navigates the Shanghai experience alone.

How We Started

SJTU.AZ was founded in early 2025 by Azerbaijani students who recognised the need for a dedicated community at one of China's most prestigious universities. What began as informal meetups grew into a structured association registered with the International Student Community at SJTU. Today we are an active presence on campus, representing Azerbaijan at university events and building a support network that every Azerbaijani student at SJTU can rely on.
