The Rector of the Georgian Technical University, academician David Gurgenidze has met with the president and delegation of Tianjin University of the People’s Republic of China.
At the meeting, the parties discussed the prospects of implementing joint educational and scientific projects and the possibilities of future relations with the friendly university.
President of Tianjin University Jin Donghan, Vice President Ming Dong, Dean of College of Intelligence and Computing Keqiu Li, Dean of Construction School Shi Yanchao, Dean of School of International Education Li Qiang, Director of International Cooperation Office Zhang Ling, Lecturer of School of Foreign Languages Li Anki, Academician David Gurgenidze provided information about the current educational and scientific process at the Georgian Technical University.
As the rector noted, the collaboration between the Georgian Technical University and Tianjin University will deepen the educational and scientific research cooperation and allow the parties to jointly introduce high technologies and innovations.
“China is one of the main players in the science-intensive economy of the world market. It is the model that can strengthen Georgia economically if we choose the right direction and consider the situation, which is acceptable for our country.
Against this background, we will achieve results. We are proud that we were the first from Georgia to cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Engineering and thus initiated several large projects.
The Chinese Scientific Research Institute has been operating in the university for several years, which was founded by the joint efforts of the Academy of Social Sciences of the People’s Republic of China and the Georgian Technical University. It is a research-oriented academic center, the like of which has never been seen in Georgia. It is known that Tianjin University is one of the oldest, where the first air engines and unmanned aerial vehicles were developed. The Georgian Technical University has a long history.
The contribution made by university scientists to the development of world cosmonautics is invaluable. On July 23rd, 1999, with the involvement of the Institute of Space Structures of the State University of Georgia, the first Georgian space object - the reflector - went into orbit. We continue to cooperate with NASA to this day. Also, our scientific-academic staff actively cooperates with the largest international research organizations and centers, such as CERN in Switzerland, KEK and J-Parc in Japan, FERMILAB in the USA, with the Willich Center, and the DAAD organization. We have close contacts with leading universities in Germany, Italy, France, and Europe.
Multifaceted international scientific collaboration with Chinese colleagues is important to us. Our university has an excellent educational-scientific infrastructure and material-technical base in the form of the latest laboratories, which we can use for successful collaboration and common goals”, said David Gurgenidze.
