After the collapse of USSR\, the diplomatic relations have been restored in 1992.\nDuring his official visit to Georgia in July 2018\, our President\, Sergio Mattarella pointed out that our two countries both yearn for freedom\, democracy and peace.\nGeorgia\, a bridge between Europe and Asia\, as well as Italy in the Mediterranean area\, at the crossroads of continents\, heirs of ancient civilizations.\nThroughout the centuries the Road of Silk has been the path along which merchants\, travelers\, artists created intense relationships\, an open door towards different cultures\, faiths and ideas.\nIn these days\, the Road of Silk is regaining its central role in tightening the connection between Europe and Asia at many levels.\nFrom Economy to Culture\, many case in point make stronger the millennial friendship between Italy and Georgia. Political\, economic\, cultural and scientific relations are constantly expanding. Our friendship is deeply rooted in the past\, but projected into the future.\n\nDate: April 18\, 16:00\, Ilia State University \nVenue: “Ligamus” Book Store\, 32 Chavchavadze Avenue \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/lecture-of-the-ambassador-of-italy-h-e-antonio-enrico-bartoli/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/51529.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20190416T170500 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20190416T170500 DTSTAMP:20260423T030521 CREATED:20190416T130500Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T092712Z UID:10001386-1555434300-1555434300@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:New Program Offers to Elevate Startups for International Expansion: Venture Elevator DESCRIPTION:New Program Offers to Elevate Startups for International Expansion: Venture Elevator \n\nUS Embassy in Georgia\nIlia State University\nStartup Grind\nGeorgia’s Innovation and Technology Agency\nProject “Paving the Way to Knowledge-based Economy: Enhancing University Research and Entrepreneurial Skills in Georgia”\n\nWhat is it?\n\nVenture Elevator is a program to help startups learn\, grow and have better chances of succeeding internationally.

AGAMBEN AND THE “POLITICS OF THE END-TIMES” DESCRIPTION:Savle Tsereteli Institute of Philosophy hosts workshop: Civil War as a \npolitical paradigm: Giorgio Agamben and the “Politics of the End-times”. \nFor registration\, please email us at stefanomelispiroddi@gmail.com. \nRegistration deadline: 25th August. \nStudying civil war \nWhy civil war? And why now? \nIn today’s globalized and fragmented world\, civil war is a constant\, yet its nature is rarely investigated. While scholars prefer to see civil war as one of the many facets of the question of war itself\, Giorgio Agamben has set to examine the question of civil war as separate altogether and\, in contrast to the established discourse\, as even more ancient. From his defiant assertion that civil war lays at the foundation of Western political thought\, we will consider the practices and the implications that civil war poses on human civilization. We will analyse if \nAgamben’s inquiry can be the first step in the inauguration of a newer and proper political thought. The goal is equipping future politics to face upcoming \nchallenges such as AI\, environmental collapse\, and dehumanisation. \n  \nWhat should participants expect from the seminar? \nParticipants will analyze constructs and tenets at the basis of modern political thinking. They will learn to assess and scrutinize between similar yet different concepts. Participants will also be tasked with reading English language papers and documents\, as well as providing response papers. \nDr. Stefano Piroddi has graduated with merit from the University of Bath. He has taken part in project and seminars at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin\, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, and the University of Trento. He holds a M.A. in Political Science and International Relations and a Bachelor’s in Sociology. \nMain readings: ‘Stasis’ by Giorgio Agamben\, ‘Society Must Be Defended’ by Michel Foucault’\, ’Liquid Modernity’ by Zygmunt Bauman. \nAdditional readings: ‘Homo Sacer’ by Giorgio Agamben\, ’State of Exception’ by Giorgio Agamben\, ’Before the Law’ by Franz Kafka\, plus more. \nAll resources will be provided in full. \nFull attendance is strongly recommended. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/workshop-civil-war-as-a-political-paradigm-giorgio-agamben-and-the-politics-of-the-end-times/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/52182.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20190314T160000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20190314T160000 DTSTAMP:20260423T030521 CREATED:20190311T065900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T092744Z UID:10001472-1552579200-1552579200@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:Public Lecture of H.E.

The lecture is based on Frederiksen’s new book “An Anthropology of Nothing in Particular” (Zero Books\, 2018). \nOverview \nDespite a number of theoretical differences\, the hermeneutical principles of meaning and coherence used to form the basis for anthropological writings. However\, issues such as nothingness and empirical meaninglessness or incoherence question the above-mentioned forms of writing and social world analysis. The paper starts with Jean-Paul Sartre’s and Susan Sontag’s statements that nothing exists and “to interpret is to impoverish”\, which will allow the speaker to examine the meaning of these statements in terms of anthropological analysis. \nMartin Demant Frederiksen is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Social Anthropology\, the University of Oslo. He is the author of the books “Young Men\, Time\, and Boredom in the Republic of Georgia (2013)\, “Georgian Portraits: Essays on the Afterlives of a Revolution” (2017) and “An Anthropology of Nothing in Particular” (2018). \nLanguage: English \nTime: 12 March\, 19:00 \nLocation: Room A103\, Ilia State University (32 I.

In the last few years\, most universities have witnessed the significant inner transformations in their education system. However\, there still remains a serious challenge to the universities to meet the demands of the social community the product of which they represent. \nAt the turn of the 21st century\, the major challenges face the university education system: economic globalization\, knowledge-based economic growth\, the information and communications revolution\, global migration process\, the national and transnational policy\, – all these significant trends require a sufficient acquisition of competences and skills to ensure career success that students aim to achieve in 21st century. \nThe challenges of the twenty-first century lead to a wide range of competences of various fields\, namely\, specialized capabilities\, social and intercultural competences\, language competences- English languish acquisition along with other languages\, and finally\, the immediate knowledge of economic and political forces that affect the modern societies. \nAccordingly\, in the last two decades\, the modern societies have witnessed the necessity of adopting a new teaching / learning model. There are a lot of relevant texts available that focus on the three leading issues- certain motivations for adopting a new learning and teaching model\, the acquisition of specific competences and skills required to answer the challenges of the twenty- first century and the pedagogy of stimulation of these skills (Cynthia Luna Scott\, 2015). \nThe special document approved by the UNESCO in 2015 introduces a list of competences and skills\, intended to be developed in the educational process and thus adopting the appropriate pedagogy\, that will promote students’ postgraduate advancement that come as a relevant response to the recent challenges of social and labor market.\nThe recent challenges include introducing new digital technologies in the learning process and setting a relevant academic condition for students and professors so that they can reach the target of applying new technologies together with the traditional models of teaching / learning. In addition\, today\, when there is a large access to any kind of unverified or verified information for students available in the shortest period of time\, it still remains within the university commitments to promote critical thinking in students\, to teach them how to use new technologies\, how to evaluate and choose the relevant information for their professional advancement and then\, how to use the knowledge in practice. \nCorrespondingly\, the aim of the conference is identifying and discussing the recent reforms in the university education system in Central and Eastern Europe including the specific questions: how the students engage in reform initiatives and its implementation; how they evaluate the corresponding relationship between the universities and employment market; how the professional skills can be adopted within the learning process; how the students engage in starting and developing scientific and research projects; how they are equipped with the opportunities to participate in research projects with their professors that finally achieves the goal of acquiring a wide range of skills and competences\, such as metacognitive and intercultural competences\, team work\, team partnership and leadership\, initiatives and enterprise management knowledge\, organization\, curiosity and imagination\, efficient oral and writing communication skills\, information acquisition \, critical thinking and decision-making skill\, flexibility and adaptability\, risk-taking and creativity (Wagner 2010). \nBased on the above\, the participant students can submit their proposal on the following colloquium topics: \n\nTeaching/Learning and digital technologies\nResearch component in the learning process\nUniversity and employment market: student-university-enterprise\nThe Relationship between school and university\nEducation reform- achievements and shortcomings\n Examination system: national entrance exams or school-leaving exams?\nAccredited programs for student mastering and student expectations\n Material and academic resources required to master the chosen specialty \nUniversity library and the conditions for applying its online resources\nStudent’s professional engagement: internship as a necessary term in MA studies\n Advantages and disadvantages of traditional and online teaching\nTeaching /Research internationalization and student mobility programs- efficient way of acquiring intercultural knowledge \nLingual uniformity or multilingualism?\n\nIn addition\, the conference participants can offer other colloquium topic on the university education. \nCommunication languages: Georgian\, French\, English \nArticles will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee (double anonymous evaluation).
