From 14 to 16 June this year, the new director of the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law (Hamburg), Professor Ralf Michaels, was a guest at the Faculty of Law at TSU. The aim of the visit was to negotiate the continuation and deepening of the long-standing cooperation between the Max Planck Institute and the Faculty of Law which also to include new components of the cooperation - for example, closer collaboration between researchers - both professors and doctoral students - with the aim of exchanging research results and identifying areas of common interest. Specific plans for joint long-term collaboration were also discussed during the talks. The talks were attended by the Dean of the Faculty of Law Tamar Zarandia, the deputy Dean Giorgi Dgebuadze and the expert for internationalization and the scientific research service Lia Shatberashvili.
