Tengiz Taktakishvili
Tuscia / Italy
As part of the Erasmus + academic staff mobility, I visited Tuscia University, where I gave a lecture on “Development Macroeconomics”. The University is located in the ancient and unusual Italian city of Viterbo. It was especially gratifying for the Georgian students to attend my lecture at Tuscia University. They also showed me the city. I think Erasmus + programs play a huge role in the professional and personal development of young people, by sharing their European values and creating boundless opportunities for the future. I am glad that once again I was given the opportunity to visit beautiful Italy and visit unforgettable Rome. I would like to see the expansion of Erasmus + programs and the involvement of more students from Georgia.

David Petriashvili
Tuscia / Italy
As part of the Erasmus + program, I had the opportunity, on behalf of the Caucasus School of Economics, to give lectures to Tuscia University students on Macroeconomic Policy Implementation Mechanisms and explain to them how this or that economic policy could affect their daily lives. The topic aroused great interest, which was reflected in the high involvement of students and discussions after the lectures.
It was interesting to meet with Georgian students on an exchange program at Tuscia University, to hear comparisons from them about Georgian and Italian teaching methods. Lecturing in a different environment was really a rewarding experience that will contribute to my academic development. In addition, opportunities for future cooperation between Tuscia University and Caucasus Universities were identified, which will further deepen the cooperation between the two universities.

"I am happy that Caucasus University gave me the opportunity to benefit from the Erasmus + academic staff exchange program. As part of the program, I traveled to the Krakow University of Economics, where I worked with students in marketing and business innovation programs. It was very pleasant and interesting to work with the students of the Krakow University of Economics.
There was a lot of interest in the offered lecture course, which also led to the fact that we continue to communicate, exchange materials and opinions even after the end of the program. In addition to the training course, the professor of Krakow University of Economics was interested in research cooperation with Caucasus University. I hope we will continue to cooperate on this topic. The Erasmus + program was a very rewarding and enjoyable experience for me".

As part of the Erasmus + Academic Staff Mobility, I visited Lille Catholic University, where I conducted a module on the following topics:
representation of numbers, introduction to cybersecurity, network security, open key cryptography, and introduction to post-quantum cryptography.
Lille Catholic University is indeed a very old, albeit infrastructurally developed educational institution and also has a cyber security lab. As part of the mobility, in addition to lectures, workshops were also planned with local lecturers and researchers, and we talked about future projects and teaching methods available between universities. It is also noteworthy that we have already started working on one of the projects with foreign colleagues. During the mobility, the university additionally provided me with a work room and gave me access to all the resources that the faculty had in the field of cyber security.

„It’s a magnificent country where Michelangelo brought the Emperor’s dreams to life” - It is inconceivable not to be fascinated by Italy, which is an exemplary center of empire, democracy and centuries-old education. From Gladiators to Ferrari this country is astonishing and unforgettable. Education is one of its strengths. The city of Viterbo and its Tuscany University are exactly the place anyone would want to come to, as modern approaches and ancient antiquity create a wonderful tandem.

“The heart of Etruscan ancient civilization - the city of Tarkvynia, one of the most amazing place of Christianity - the city of Viterbo and the most beautiful city of Italy - Florence. All of this was introduced to me in the fall of 2017 in the framework of the Erasmus program of Caucasus University and Tuscany University. Within the framework of the program a lecture-seminar on "Monetary Policy and the Role of Central Banks" was presented, there was a very active discussion on the problems of the European Central Bank, the US Federal Reserve Bank, the Japanese Central Bank and the action of the regional central banks. The causes of financial crisis and its course in the banking sector were analyzed.
Curriculum and news were shared with academic staff. I would like to express my gratitude to CU and the international departments of the University of Tuscany for a well-organized and well-planned schedule, which enabled the high quality and success of this program. "

During the exchange visit, I was given the opportunity to give lectures on the theories of international relations: Realism, Liberalism and Constructivism to students of the Political Science of Tuscany University. It was very helpful for me to give a lecture to a foreign audience, to compare Georgian and Italian audiences, and to get acquainted with various practical and academic contexts. At the same time, it was an honor to get to know my Italian colleagues and to strengthen links for further academic collaboration in the future. "
