At the Georgian Technical University, representatives of the national office of “Horizon Europe” held an information meeting for doctoral and post-doctoral students, young scientists, and researchers.
The vice-rector of the Georgian Technical University opened the event. As Professor Tamar Lominadze noted, the Georgian Technical University makes a significant contribution and will continue to grant in the future to the development of “Horizon Europe” and will also benefit greatly from this process.
“Such an important foundation as “Horizon Europe” holds another meeting at the Georgian Technical University, which is truly an institution where serious scientific products are created and makes a significant contribution to the development of science. Georgian Technical University has no difficulty finding partners within “Horizon Europe”, to the extent that our scientists conduct interesting, important, and valuable research in collaboration with scientists from leading European and American universities.
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, and FERMILAB in the USA, we collaborate with the Willich Center and the DAAD organization. We have close contact with leading universities in China, Germany, Italy, France, and Europe. many innovative ideas and inventions have been collected at the Georgian Technical University, which needs to be realized and promoted for the new products creation. Accordingly, “Horizon Europe” and in general, collaboration with our European partners, provide an excellent opportunity for development in this direction.
Rustaveli National Science Foundation and “Horizon Europe” offer several interesting grant competitions, which, I am sure, will interest the researchers of our university. I would like to emphasize that the rector of the Georgian Technical University, academician David Gurgenidze correctly and precisely implements the scientific policy at the university, the university diplomacy that is based on the policy and philosophy of “Horizon Europe”. I wish success to young scientists, to whom the university provides all development opportunities,” said Tamar Lominadze.
