Professor Mariam Manjgaladze visited the University of Naples “L’Orientale” from 22 to 31 October for a programme of lectures, research and academic exchange at the Centre for Christian Eastern Studies in the Department of Asian, African and Mediterranean Studies.

Fully funded by the host university and organised under its cooperation agreement with Caucasus University, the visit gave Professor Manjgaladze the opportunity to deliver lectures, consult research materials in the university library and share scholarly perspectives and teaching experience with colleagues.

Discussions with colleagues also helped shape plans for a return visit next academic year, with lectures on topics of particular interest to students at L’Orientale University.

The exchange marks a further step in strengthening the academic partnership between the two universities, both of which place considerable importance on continued scholarly cooperation.
