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 many supporters, who were eager to discuss future perspectives of Azerbaijan integrated in the common European family.
