The program aims to strengthen the capacity of research administration and development offices at Georgian higher education institutions, thereby increasing the contribution of higher education and research institutions to improving Georgia’s economic situation.
The program includes webinars and seminars on international research and fundraising, as well as a study visit for Georgian university representatives to the United States, and a reciprocal visit for American education experts to Georgian universities.
Experts from the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the University of Chicago, Yale University, the University of Zurich, King's College London, and the American University of Beirut are also involved in the program.
