On 25-29 May, within the framework of the PRODIGE (Promoting Quality Digital Education in Georgia) project, funded by the Erasmus+ Institutional Development Program (Capacity Building in Higher Education), a study visits on this topic “What do examples of good practice in digital higher education look like?” was held with a delegation of representatives from Georgian Higher Education Institutions organized by Algebra Bernays University.

The study visit was attended by the representatives of Caucasus University David Tsiklauri, Director of Strategic Development Department and Research Facilitation Department, and George Salukvadze, Assistant Professor at Caucasus School of Media with the other partners of the project.

The programme introduced participants to Algebra Bernays University's digital education ecosystem, including institutional digitalisation strategies, integrated learning environments, data-driven decision-making, quality assurance, and the implementation of the EU Digital Education Action Plan 2021–2027. Particular attention was given to micro-credentials, Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs), and innovative approaches supporting lifelong learning and labour market needs.

To gain a comprehensive view of digital transformation, the participants also visited key Croatian institutions: Ministry of Science, Education and Youth, the Agency for Science and Higher Education (AZVO), the Croatian Academic and Research Network (CARNET), and the University Computing Centre (SRCE) to learn about Croatia's higher education policies, digital infrastructure, and quality assurance mechanisms.

The study visit provided valuable experience and examples of good practice that will contribute to the digital transformation of Georgian higher education institutions.
