The participants of the conference summarized the results of the joint projects and discussed the steps to be taken in terms of strengthening the existing partnership and the prospects of future cooperation.
Aleksandre Tsuladze addressed the audience, congratulated the European Organization delegation for Nuclear Research on its 70th anniversary, and emphasized the importance of long-term cooperation with CERN in the field of science in Georgia.
“It is a matter of pride that as a result of many years of fruitful partnership with the European Organization for Nuclear Research, Georgia is contributing the success of the largest global scientific research at CERN.
I hope this cooperation will be further strengthened and we will make positive progress on the way to Georgia’s associate membership in CERN, which will give Georgian scientists, students, school teachers, and pupils even more opportunities to deepen their knowledge and conduct international-level research. We will spare no effort in supporting the scientific community of Georgia and promoting young researchers,” announced Aleksandre Tsuladze.
The President of the Council of the European Organization for Nuclear Research also addressed the event participants. He promised the minister his support and expressed his full readiness to strengthen the partnership.
It should be noted that the cooperation between Georgia and the European Organization for Nuclear Research has counted for more than 30 years, during which many Georgian scientists continued their research activities at CERN. The participation of scientists from the Georgian Technical University and Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University in the activities of the organization is particularly noteworthy. In particular, Georgian scientists are involved in two of the four main CERN experiments - ATLAS and CMS experiments.
In 2023, a protocol of agreement was signed between the Government of Georgia and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) on cooperation in the field of education, retraining, and technology and knowledge transfer, which envisages the participation of engineers and researchers in CERN exchange programs, the implementation of summer student programs, academic and technical Training of personnel, support for transfer of knowledge and technologies, sharing of experience in the field of hadronic therapy, implementation of training programs for public school teachers and others.
