The history of Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University's (ASOIU) Student Youth Organization dates back to 2005. Since then, following the approval of action plans aimed at improving cooperation with young people and students in higher education institutions, and after obtaining legal status, student-youth organizations have been established in all state and non-state educational institutions, depending on the number of students. ASOIU's Student Youth Organization was established in 2005 as the Student Youth Organization of Azerbaijan State Oil Academy (ASOA). On November 20, 2009, it became a part of the "Azerbaijan Student Youth Organizations' Union," joining 105 state and private higher education institutions' Student Youth Organizations. Through this membership, ASOIU student youth gained the right to participate in state-important forums, events, conferences, and parties organized by ASYOU.
The student union at ASOIU operates through a democratic election process in which students are given the opportunity to vote for their leadership. This process ensures that the student body has a direct influence on the selection of representatives who will serve in key leadership roles within the union. The elected leadership is responsible for advocating for student interests, organizing campus activities, and fostering a positive, inclusive environment for all students. The election process is designed to be transparent, fair, and accessible to all students, reinforcing the values of student engagement and participation in university governance.
Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University's Student Youth Organization management board comprises the Chairman, three Deputy Chairmen, and seven Faculty Chairmen.
The organization includes the following clubs: Conversation, Training, Charity, AzMUN, CreART, Cinema, and Intellectual clubs. These clubs provide ample opportunities for young people to develop essential skills such as representation, analytical thinking, research, and writing. They also foster language proficiency and bring together innovative young minds interested in startups and the implementation of their projects.
