“For the Georgian Technical University, the fact that we are hosting one of the important stages of this innovative and interdisciplinary project is of particular importance. Our goal is to promote the deepening of international cooperation in education, science, and culture in a field that has deep roots and historical significance in Georgia. Based on such projects, we have introduced multidisciplinary approaches, created common research spaces and strengthened international partnerships that ensure quality education and innovative development in the long term,” said the Vice-Rector of the Georgian Technical University, Professor Tamar Lominadze, during a meeting with the delegation of the Swiss University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HESˑSO) at the opening event of the “Summer University 2025”.
Within the framework of the international project “Summer University 2025”, professors and students from the Higher School of Viticulture and Enology of the Swiss University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HESˑSO) visited the Georgian Technical University on a working visit.
According to Professor Nino Chkhartishvili, Head of the Department of Viticulture and Enology at the GTU Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Biosystems Engineering, the slogan of the visit, which was carried out within the framework of the international project - “Summer University 2025”, is: “The History of Viticulture and Enology: From the Swiss Alps and Coasts to the Cradle of Enology”.
The Georgian Technical University has been cooperating with the Swiss HES-SO University, Changini School of Viticulture and Enology, under a 5-year Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2018.
During the visit, it is planned to renew the memorandum and sign new memoranda of cooperation with leading Australian Universities.
“The goal of the Summer University is to share modern knowledge and practice in the field of viticulture and winemaking with students, develop intercultural skills, and create international professional networks. Bachelor’s and master’s students from foreign countries attend the program. The Summer School is organized by the Swiss HESˑSO University and is a partner project of the Vinifera EuroMaster program, with which the Georgian Technical University closely cooperates. It is noteworthy that together with the students, Patrice Lallemann, the Vinifera EuroMaster program manager and co-director of the Summer School, visited us. The 40-member delegation was hosted by the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Biosystems Engineering. I am glad that our faculty has the opportunity to host international students and share with them not only academic knowledge, but also introduce them to the unique heritage of Georgian vine and wine,” said Nino Chkhartishvili.
Members of the delegation from the Swiss University of Applied Sciences and Arts (HES SO) visited the laboratories of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Biosystems Engineering, got acquainted with the current educational programs, and the diverse opportunities that the Georgian Technical University offers
