On October 30, 2014 ISET launched the Finance Course for Professionals. This one-year certificate course aims to endow people who have not received formal training in finance but have to deal with financial matters in their daily routine with fundamental concepts and methods of finance. It will enable the participants to understand and assess financial subjects independently and provide terminological and conceptual essentials for communicating with financial experts.
Lecturers Paul-Henri Forestier, Jean-Frederic Paulsen and Florian Biermann welcomed the participants and provided them with a short overview of the subjects they will be taking throughout the year emphasizing not only the work-related but also the everyday use of the knowledge they will acquire.
ISET continues a Lecture Series of TSU’s Distinguished Professors. Once a month notable TSU professors from various faculties deliver a one hour presentation for ISET-ers.
On October 29, 2014, ISET Conference Hall hosted the Vice Rector of Tbilisi State University Levan Aleksidze, presenting the topic “People’s Right to Self-Determination; Separatism in a Contemporary International Context”. In this presentation, Aleksidze talked about the difference between two notions domestic law and international law. How these laws define and sometimes fail to define the political environment in the world. During the lecture he discussed cases both from Georgia – Abkhazia and South Ossetia, and the rest of the world - Kosovo, Crimea, etc.
