CIU Became Engaged in the Project: “Consulting Services for Promoting Internationalization of Higher Education”

In 2023, Caucasus International University joined the project “Consulting Services for Promoting Internationalization of Higher Education”, which is implemented by the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia within the framework of the “Georgia - Innovation, Inclusion and Quality” project with the financial support of the World Bank.

The project aims to promote the internationalization of higher education in Georgia and includes three main tasks: development of a joint doctoral program in education and science management, development of specialty English language modules and entrepreneurship modules, and development and implementation of international seasonal schools for doctoral students and young researchers.

In the first stage of the project, the institutional research and evaluation of Georgian Higher Education Institutions with various components - learning and teaching, education, research, material and human resources, etc. was implemented. In the second stage, online workshops were held for the higher education institutions involved in the project and they were introduced to the goals of the project, and in the third stage of the project, several universities were selected, which will implement the tasks set by the project in cooperation with foreign consultants.

Caucasus International University was selected to implement the second task of the project. On the basis of CIU Faculty of Business and Technology, in cooperation with international project experts, representatives of University College London Consultants, the so-called Benchmark modules of “Business English” and “Entrepreneurship” will be developed, which after the completion of the project will be offered to other Georgian universities as a guide for the implementation of the mentioned modules.
