EUA represents universities in 49 European countries, national rectors' conferences, and over 900 member and affiliated organizations within and outside Europe. As the largest and most comprehensive organization representing universities in Europe, the association ensures the integration of higher education institutions, supports the development of European higher education and research areas, and promotes the quality continuity of member universities.

It is expected that our membership will contribute to MAKÜ's strategic development goals, strengthen the university's steps towards globalization, and offer new perspectives in exchange programs, joint research projects, and other areas of cooperation.
