On December 28, Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University hosted a joint public lecture on a topic “Migration: Universe, Human and Brain” by TSU alumni – Gia Dvali, professor of physics at New York University’s Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics and at LMU Munich; Davit Lortkipanidze, TSU Professor, Director General of the National Museum of Georgia; and Zaal Kokaia, professor at Lund University. The lecture was organized by Georgian University Society as a closing event to mark TSU’s 100th anniversary.
“Our alumni, members of Georgian University Society held a very interesting lecture. It was their gift to the University dedicated to TSU’s 100th anniversary. With this event we closed our anniversary year. I hope that other TSU alumni will also support us and actively participate in the university life,” TSU Rector, George Sharvashidze said.
Gia Dvali hailed the public lecture as “an important event” for all alumni and Davit Lortkipanidze noted that the key task of Georgian scientists is to show to everyone that Georgia with its past is in the focus of attention of the global science. “For me, as for any Georgian, the University is the institution, which is the leader in Georgia’s intellectual development. It is a great honor for us that our lecture closed the events marking TSU’s 100th anniversary,” Lortkipanidze said.
“I am glad that we, the graduates of various faculties, were provided an opportunity to present the research to broad audience and to show that the present scientific and cognitive processes are multidisciplinary and one and the same issue can be discussed from different angles. This event is part of Georgian University Society’s activities aimed at establishing relations with broad public and engaging TSU alumni in the university’s everyday life,” Zaal Kokaia said.
Georgian University Society was restored on December 15, 2017 to support the development of the University. It unites TSU alumni and its supporters.
