The Head of Administration (Chancellor) of the Georgian Technical University – Professor Karlo Kopaliani, Vice-Rector – Professor Tamar Lominadze, and President of the Supervisory Board – Professor Zurab Gudavadze met with the delegation of Karabuk University (Türkiye), on their working visit to the University.

The GTU Vice-Rector – Tamar Lominadze opened the meeting, which was attended by the Rector of Karabuk University, Professor Fatih Kirişik, International Relations Coordinator Adnan UCUR, Professor Mehmet Eden of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and doctoral students of the Department of Mechanical Engineering – Bahadir Kinaci and Eyup Taşkaya.

As she noted, Georgian Technical University fruitfully cooperates with leading universities of the Republic of Türkiye and has many years of common working interests with Karabuk University.

“Georgian Technical University has signed a memorandum of understanding with 29 Turkish universities. Erasmus+ inter-institutional agreements have been signed with 21 of them, within which student and faculty mobility is actively underway. The cooperation between us and Karabuk University envisages the participation of students and researchers in Erasmus+ exchange programs, the integration of scientific and research activities, the definition of a new meaning and purpose of student education, and the analysis of the current situation. The visit of Turkish colleagues to our university is related to the discussion of two important documents, which concern cooperation in terms of planning and participation in the festival in social sciences and health care. The Georgian Technical University welcomes the new type of cooperation with Karabuk University, which, I believe, will be a prerequisite for the new successful project implementation for both sides, students and academic staff,” said Tamar Lominadze.
