  • Academy of the State Customs Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan (ASCCA)

    The Academy of the State Customs Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan (ASCCA) is a public higher education institution established by presidential decree in 2012 and operational since 2014. As Azerbaijan’s only higher education and professional training institution dedicated to customs, ASCCA uniquely combines academic education, vocational excellence, public sector training, and international cooperation under one structure. It offers accredited undergraduate and graduate programs in disciplines such as International Trade and Logistics, Law, Economics, Customs Administration, and Information Security, while also functioning as the World Customs Organization (WCO) Regional Training Center in Baku and the Regional Office of the International Network of Customs Universities (INCU). ASCCA is a member of the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) and a signatory to the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (UN PRME), reaffirming its commitment to global values and sustainability. In 2025, the Academy earned the European Training Foundation’s “Commitment to Vocational Excellence” certificate after completing the ISATCOVE self-assessment, which laid the foundation for its Strategic Development Plan 2025–2030. As a forward-looking institution, ASCCA’s academic and institutional strategies are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDGs 4, 9, 16, and 17. Our focus on higher education for sustainable development is both curricular and institutional. Academically, we integrate sustainability, ethical governance, and green trade facilitation into degree programs and professional training, especially in fields like customs modernization and digital transformation. ASCCA actively promotes knowledge and practices related to environmentally responsible border management, green logistics, and the digitalization of customs processes—critical areas for reducing the environmental and procedural footprint of global trade. Institutionally, we apply sustainability frameworks such as the P5 Standard for Green Project Management to guide project-based learning and policy design. Internationally, ASCCA participates in Erasmus+, ETF ENE, and Skillman Voice networks to advance inclusive and responsible customs education across borders. Through these commitments, ASCCA serves as a national and regional driver of sustainable development in the public service sector, preparing learners not only to be skilled professionals, but also ethical leaders in line with the 2030 Agenda. As a specialized public higher education institution, the Academy of the State Customs Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan (ASCCA) currently serves approximately 600 students enrolled in full-time undergraduate and graduate programs, alongside several hundred customs officers and public sector professionals engaged annually in vocational training, executive education, and lifelong learning programs. Our membership comprises: Undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in fields such as International Trade and Logistics, Law, Economics, Customs Administration, and Information Security; Customs professionals and public officials attending in-service, pre-service, and executive-level training, primarily from the State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan; Academic and administrative staff involved in teaching, research, international cooperation, and capacity building. ASCCA’s institutional focus lies at the intersection of customs education, public governance, trade facilitation, and sustainable development. As the World Customs Organization Regional Training Center (WCO RTC) and the Regional Office of the International Network of Customs Universities (INCU), we prioritize responsible governance, institutional innovation, green trade systems, and international collaboration. In line with our commitment to the UN PRME and UNAI principles, we embed sustainability, ethics, and global engagement into all dimensions of our work.
