World Economy and Comparative Development in Eastern Europe
- Details
In what has been a decidedly international few months for ISET with recent visits to Japan, Norway and India (as well as a trip to Uzbekistan late October), yet another member of the institute's faculty has travelled abroad, this time to Germany.
On October 14-15, ISET's Pati Mamardashvili gave a presentation at the “World Economy and Comparative Development in Eastern Europe” workshop in Berlin, which brought together scholars from different countries to present and discuss their work on Eastern European economic research. The topics dealt with various fields in economics such as economic growth, agricultural economics, international economics, political economies and institutional economics.
Pati Mamardashvili presented her research on Georgia’s Agricultural Subsidy Program of Georgia, which was carried out by APRC researchers Rati Kochlamazashvili, Salome Gelashvili and Ia Katsia.
ISET Proposes VET Reforms to Ministry of Education
- Details
Vocational education and training (VET) reform has been at the top of the reform agenda in Georgia for several months. The government authorities perceive reforming VET as a solution to a range of interconnected challenges the country faces, such as labor market mismatches, the “over-education” trap and high unemployment, as well as poverty rates. To address those challenges, one of the strategies set by the government is to support entrepreneurial education in the VET system.
ISET is proud to announce that the very first step towards supporting entrepreneurial education was accomplished by the ISET team led by its President, Eric Livny. The task of the ISET team was to deliver proposals on how to improve the provision of basic entrepreneurial skills within the regular training. The team also explored ways in which to identify, select and incubate talented future entrepreneurs.
