On November 6, 9, and 10, Caucasus University hosted a delegation from the Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (TH Wildau), Germany. The visit was funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) within the framework of the Eastern Partnership program.
A group of German students, accompanied by the head of the delegation, Professor Michael Herzog, visited Caucasus University. During the visit, a meeting was held with the President of Caucasus University, Kakha Shengelia, the Dean of the Caucasus School of Business, Elene Jgharkava, and the Director of the International Relations Department, Ketevan Karbaia. At the meeting, the parties discussed the existing cooperation between the universities and opportunities for its further development.
During the visit, Mariam Davitashvili, Manager of the International Relations Department, introduced the German students to Caucasus University’s educational and international programs, international partnerships, achievements in the field of internationalization, implemented activities, and future initiatives.
A significant part of the study visit was dedicated to a thematic workshop titled "Regional and Global Approaches to Energy System Transformation." During the workshop, participants discussed the potential for utilizing renewable energy sources, contemporary challenges in energy transition, and regional and global perspectives on sustainable energy supply.
On November 9, as part of the visit, the students also had the tour of the headquarters of the company Daily Group. There, Levan Buachidze - a graduate of the joint Master’s program in Digital Logistics Management offered by Caucasus University and TH Wildau - provided an overview of the company’s operations and shared his professional experience in the field of logistics. The meeting provided students with the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the practical aspects of the logistics field and how to apply their academic knowledge in a professional context.
The program featured interactive activities, teamwork, and thematic discussions, allowing students to share their diverse perspectives and experiences. As a result of their collaborative work, the students produced and recorded a podcast covering key issues related to energy transition and the main findings from their discussions.
It is worth noting that the partnership between Caucasus University and TH Wildau encompasses both the implementation of a joint Master’s program in Digital Logistics Management and exchange opportunities for students, as well as academic and administrative staff, under the Erasmus+ program. This partnership between the universities represents a significant aspect of their strategic cooperation; it facilitates the development of joint educational initiatives, strengthens international academic mobility, promotes the sharing of experience and best practices, and further deepens institutional ties.
