GTU Students to Undergo Practical Training at “Tegeta Green Planet”
28-05-2025
Students of the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy of the Georgian Technical University will undergo practical training at the company “Tegeta Green Planet”. They will get acquainted with the company’s activities in the effective management and recycling of automotive waste on-site. The agreement was reinforced by a memorandum of cooperation between the university and the company.
The document was signed by Tamar Tsereteli, Vice-Rector of the Georgian Technical University, and Shalva Akhvlediani, Director of “Tegeta Green Planet”.
The signing of the memorandum at the university was attended by representatives of the GTU administration and the company, the Dean of the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy, Associate Professor Liana Targamadze, researchers and students of the Departments of Environmental Engineering and Ecology, as well as Chemical and Biological Technologies.
As the parties noted, the memorandum aims to raise environmental awareness among the youth. Within the framework of the document, at the first stage, 40 students of the Chemical and Biological Engineering and Environmental Engineering educational programs of the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy - third and fourth-year bachelors, and master’s students will undergo additional theoretical training in three subjects: atmospheric protection techniques, hydrosphere and soil protection techniques, and industrial practice in environmental engineering.
After completing the theoretical part of the course, students will get acquainted with the activities of “Tegeta Green Planet” on site, which ensures effective management of automotive waste and recycling according to technical regulations.
According to the Vice-Rector of the Georgian Technical University, scientists, in partnership with industries, actively work to overcome the global challenges of waste management and climate change.
“Climate change, sustainable use of natural resources and sustainable waste management are real challenges of today’s world. Overcoming them requires the combined efforts of science, education and industry. For the Georgian Technical University, training a young generation of environmental engineers and researchers means not only providing them with theoretical knowledge, but also supporting them in developing practical skills and deepening environmental responsibility. We consider our partnership with “Tegeta Green Planet” to be one of the important stages in the realization of the university’s vision and approaches. By integrating practical learning, the university creates an opportunity for students to develop technical skills in waste management and recycling, and also to become future leaders in the environmental field, as direct involvement in the company’s activities and contact with modern technologies ensures their full-fledged career development. In addition, this cooperation will meet our goal - to strengthen cooperation between the university and industry in support of the circular economy through interdisciplinary training and development of innovative ideas. We are confident that the partnership within the framework of the memorandum will bring tangible benefits to students, industry and the country as a whole,” noted Tamar Tsereteli.
According to Shalva Akhvlediani, Director of “Tegeta Green Planet”, by engaging in the company’s activities, students interested in technology and science at the Georgian Technical University will have the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and link their future professional choices to environmental fields.
“Within the framework of the memorandum, awareness-raising campaigns and lectures will be held for the GTU students for several years, they will technically work on existing challenges in the environmental field. “Tegeta Green Planet”, as an extended producer responsibility organization, manages specific automotive waste in accordance with technical regulations. Our specific and technical activities create a good opportunity for young people interested in technology and science to gain in-depth knowledge on these issues and in the future connect their professional choices with the environmental field. I think this cooperation will be progressive and fruitful for our organization and the university, as well as for the country,” said Shalva Akhvlediani.
Within the framework of the memorandum, in partnership with the Georgian Technical University and “Tegeta Green Planet”, joint theoretical and practical training courses and “green projects” will be developed, and cyclical seminars and workshops on the circular economy will be held.
To develop a circular economy, students will acquire practical skills, including learning how to recover used items.
The Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Georgian Technical University and “Tegeta Green Planet” envisages a partnership until December 31st, 2028.
