Rector Jaba Samushia spoke about the development of Kartvelian studies and the significance of Kartvelological centers located in foreign countries. “This is a field that requires our attention and care. To facilitate the advancement of this field, it is essential to implement a unified state policy. We are ready, in collaboration with the Academy of Sciences and other universities, to develop a strategy for developing Kartvelian science,” said Jaba Samushia.

A considerable number of universities have already established such centers, where the Georgian language, culture, and history are taught.
