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).

EFSA was set up in 2002 following a series of food crises in the late 1990s to be a source of scientific advice and communication on risks associated with the food chain. The agency was legally established by the EU under the General Food Law – Regulation 178/2002. \nThe General Food Law created a European food safety system where responsibilities for risk assessment (science) and for risk management (policy) are kept separate. EFSA is responsible for the former area\, and also has a duty to communicate its scientific findings to the public. Thanks to this system\, European consumers are among the best protected and best informed in the world as regards risks in the food chain. \nLanguage: English \nTime:  8 November 2018\, 11:00 \nVenue:  Room G106\, Ilia State University (1 G.

However\, it is commonly understood that these characters have a meaning and story which have survived the rigors of etymological developments through the ages. \nIs there a common thread that ties together the Book of Genesis from the Hebrew Bible and Chinese characters? Did the obscure religion of a seemingly insignificant nation which lay between the great Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations have any impact on the language and culture of another ancient civilization in the East\, separated by a distance of four thousand miles? \nDr. Rebekah will discuss the meaning behind different Chinese characters and explore the potential influence of the Hebraic religion and beliefs on these characters as adopted by the Chinese\, Korean\, and Japanese languages. \nLecture Purpose: \nThe purpose of this lecture is for students who are interested in linguistics and cross-cultural studies\, as well as anyone interested in East Asian cultures and languages\, to discover the potential linguistic link between the most influential literature of the Ancient Near East and the Far East Asian language with over 50\,000 characters. \nTime: 7 November 2018\, 17:00 \nVenue: B 201 Ilia State University (32 Ilia Chavchavadze Ave.) \nWorking language: English \nScope of Audience: Open to all ISU students\, as well as students from surrounding universities in Tbilisi.

The famed description of Tbilisi by Vakhushti in the 18th century does not describe any of these suburban gardens specifically\, only drawing attention to the extraordinary number of them. Tbilisi was in this sense a typical Persian city\, defined by a central opposition between city and suburban gardens\, contrasting models of spatial order that exist side by side. \nWhat kinds of gardens were there in and around Tbilisi? What kinds of heterotopias\, “other spaces” –spaces that announce themselves as mythic or real worlds apart from the ordinary– did they represent? What kinds of everyday practices\, of drinking and walking\, what urban genres of writing and song\, were associated with these different gardens? And how did they differ not only from the ordinary spaces – the streets and houses– of the city\, as well as from each other? Tbilisi is haunted by the after-images of these gardens. Today I want to talk about three such urban garden heterotopias: suburban walled royal gardens from the Safavid period of Sololaki\, which all were destroyed in 1795\, new Russian colonial gardens typified by Alexandrovski Garden\, and lastly\, Ortachala’s gardens\, the gardens of the poetry of Old Tbilisi. \nLanguage: English \nTime: 26 October\, 18:00 \nVenue: Room A101\, Ilia State University (32 Ilia Chavchavadze Ave.) \nAttendance is free. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n[wpai_display_imported_files_here] URL:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/event/public-lecture-by-paul-manning-the-city-of-gardens-three-garden-heterotopias-of-old-tbilisi/ CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://events.iliauni.edu.ge/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/48828.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20181026T150000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Dubai:20181026T150000 DTSTAMP:20260422T221747 CREATED:20181019T131117Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240202T093041Z UID:10001733-1540566000-1540566000@events.iliauni.edu.ge SUMMARY:"Right to Privacy in the Era of Transparency and Mass Surveillance" DESCRIPTION:Public lecture on “Right to Privacy in the Era of Transparency and Mass Surveillance” will be held on October 26 at 15:00 \nJudge of the European Court of Human Rights\, Ganna Yudkivska will speak about a development of the notion of privacy and its reasonable expectations\, growing requirements to informational space\, right to be forgotten\, mass surveillance and omnipotent state. \nDoctor of Philosophy in law\, Ganna Yudkivska has been elected to European Court of Human Rights in 2010.

Braun\, Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons\, will speak about Complications of Bariatric Procedures. \nEach method used in bariatric surgery has pros and cons. Dr. Braun will discuss bariatric surgery procedures and postoperative complications\, as well as improvements in psychological and nutritional status following the procedures. The speaker will review the Australian healthcare system and surgical training opportunities. \nW. Konrad Karcz\, Professor\, Dr. med. PHM\, Head of Minimally Invasive Surgery at Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich will deliver a lecture on Boundaries of Laparoscopic Oncosurgery. \nThe main objective of minimally invasive surgery is to reduce surgical traumas. Performed in 1987\, the first laparoscopic cholecistechtomy was a breakthrough in abdominal surgery. Reduction of surgical traumas improves the outcomes of surgical treatment. Advancements in imaging and robotic technologies have contributed to the development of laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery\, significantly expanding the boundaries of endoscopic and laparoscopic treatment of benevolent diseases.
