The
Conference of International Association of University Presidents (IAUP) was
ended in Vienna, where about 400 universities from 75 countries, including approximately
30 Georgian state and private higher educational institutions took part. The
conference was a unique opportunity for our universities to present their
international potential, and the contacts that have been established with
foreign universities, will contribute to implementation of joint educational
programs, increase the number of exchange programs and provide issuance of dual
diplomas for graduates. The fact, that Kakha Shengelia, the rector of Caucasus
University was elected as the president of the International Association of
University Presidents (IAUP) for the period of three years, will also contribute
to increase of awareness about the Georgian universities.
