Former DAAD Scholarship Holders at TSU
Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) hosted a meeting with former German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) scholarship holders. Rector of TSU, Giorgi Sharvashidze; Minister of Education and Science, Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandre Jejelava; German Ambassador to Georgia, Heike Peitsch; DAAD Deputy Secretary General, Ulrich Grothus; professors, students and invited guests attended the event.
Rector Giorgi Sharvashidze said: “The event is dedicated to Georgian-German academic relations and it has been organized in partnership with DAAD, whose alumni are being hosted by TSU today. Since 1988, TSU has gained a great experience of relationship with DAAD. We will present what we have done together and will talk about the future perspectives of our bilateral relations. It is worth noting that after Georgia joined Horizon 2020, we have much more opportunities to implement joint academic projects.”
DAAD Deputy Secretary General, Ulrich Grothus noted that “Georgia has been DAAD’s very important partner for already years and during this period hundreds of scholarship holders from Georgia had been involved in the projects.”
“A lot of Georgian and German students and scholars have been awarded German scholarships, including student and doctoral scholarships. Germany is one of the main supporters of Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations. Promoting education is important for the development of our country. Today, we welcome DAAD alumni; we express our gratitude to this organization and outline the plans of our future cooperation,” Georgian Education Minister, Aleksandre Jejelava said.
“Germany and Georgia have intensive relations in academic sphere. I would like to express my gratitude to DAAD for its multi-year activities. This scholarship involves almost all spheres of education. Visa-free travel to EU has brought Georgia closer to Germany and Europe. DAAD is a bridge between Georgia and Germany,” German Ambassador to Georgia, Heike Peitsch said.
Tbilisi Mayor, TSU Professor Davit Narmania has received DAAD scholarship twice. “I will deliver a report on the investment opportunities in our city. Based on German experience and local reality, I will talk about how important German investments are for our city,” Narmania said.
A meeting with former German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) scholarship holders is being held as part of events “Georgian-German Academic Relations: Partnership between Tradition and Innovation.” The meeting traditionally marks intensive academic relations between the two countries.
