Forum of Azerbaijani Students in Europe or FASE (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycanlı Tələbələrin Avropa Forumu) is a government sponsored organization for Azerbaijani students and young professionals in Europe. It has been sponsored by the government of Azerbaijan to promote national interests.[1] It launched ANTV, Azerbaijan's first online television channel.[2] The station is affiliated with the Alumni Network Youth Organisation and was started by Emin Milli Chairman of Alumni Network (AN) Youth Organisation.[3] ANTV has been touted as a citizen journalist station.[4]

FASE has many branches in different capitals of Europe. The idea of establishing FASE was developed during the first Forum held in May, 2006 at the European Parliament in Brussels which was held under the slogan “Future is What You Do Now” with the initiative to promote education abroad, as a result of which the state programme on state funding 5,000 students a year to study abroad has been adopted by the Azerbaijani government.[5]

Successive forums and events have been held under the slogans “Be the Change”, "Make a Difference" and "Working together is Success" in Brussels, Berlin, Strasbourg, London, Athens and Paris and attracted lots of supporters, who were eager to discuss future perspectives of Azerbaijan integrated in the common European family.
