ISET released 10th cohort of well-educated economists
- Details
So far, 2017 has proved to be an exceptional year for ISET and its community. The school released its 10th cohort of well-educated and professional economists, with 32 students from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia joining the small but very strong community of ISETers.
Over the past 10 years, ISET has been a remarkable success, propelling almost 300 graduates on to fascinating careers in academia, the government and the private sector, as well as bringing research to bear on policy, and informing and educating the Georgian public on all things economics.
ISET’s 10th graduation ceremony was hosted at Château Mukhrani on July 1, and was attended by ISET students and their families, as well as by ISET’s many friends and supporters in Georgia and the region: past and present policymakers, prominent representatives of the business community, international organizations, and civil society groups were all in attendance.
Past & present agricultural economists meet
- Details
On June 22 2017, the Agricultural Policy Research Center (APRC) of the ISET Policy Institute organized a meeting with former Agricultural Concentration students. As is well-known, the APRC was established at the ISET Policy Institute in July 2014 with a three-year grant from USAID to enhance synergy between policy research, professional training, and teaching activities, capitalizing on the institutional strengths of ISET and ISET-PI. The APRC functions in conjunction with the Agricultural Economics Concentration in the ISET MA program. The purpose of the concentration is to educate the next generation of policy leaders in Georgia who understand the complexities, challenges and tradeoffs behind policy decisions in the agricultural sector.
