The Closing Ceremony of the Japan-Georgia-Europe International Workshop/Conference – “Laser-Induced Plasma Applications - Tbilisi 2025“ Held at GTU
04-10-2025
Georgian Technical University hosted an important international scientific conference, which once again showed that science has no borders and cooperation between leading specialists from Japan, European countries and Georgia creates unique opportunities for new research. It is especially important that the research is aimed at the development of green energy and biomedical technologies - covering areas that determine the future of humanity. Against the backdrop of environmental challenges and climate change, innovative energy solutions are an inevitable need, and biomedical areas are directly related to improving human health and quality of life. That is why such scientific platforms create an opportunity for young scientists, engineers and students to receive modern knowledge and experience, and for Georgia to become an active participant in the global processes. Thus, a healthy, safe and sustainable world will be available to future generations,” said Academician David Gurgenidze, Rector of the Georgian Technical University, during the evaluation of the Japan-Georgia-Europe International Workshop/Conference “On the Physics and Technologies of Laser-Induced Plasma - for Green Energy and Biomedical Applications."
