External dissemination of the ETHICS project

On 3 June, Tamar Chokoraia, Head of the Academic Writing Center at Caucasus University, gave a presentation at an international conference organised by the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Professionals Association (MELPA).

 

In her presentation, she introduced the ongoing project funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ Institutional Development Grant: 'Responsible Conduct of Research: Research Integrity and Ethics in Georgian Universities' (ETHICS).  She provided detailed information on the project's objectives and the results achieved.

 

During the panel discussion, particular interest was shown in the outcomes reflecting the project's growing impact and sustainability. Representatives of non-governmental organisations and Georgian universities not directly involved in the project also expressed interest in the topic.
