The first edition of the RiHEI Project Newsletter, your comprehensive guide to the transformation of Georgian higher education. This newsletter serves as a bridge between our stakeholders and the pioneering initiatives shaping the future of education in Georgia.
RiHEI Project stands for Responsible and Impactful Universities as Sustainable Growth and Enterprise Catalysts in Georgia. The general aim of RiHEI is to transform the Georgian HEI ecosystem into an engine of sustainable and responsible (socially, environmentally) growth for enterprise and job creation by investing in the capabilities of youth and better connecting education, research and innovation with private sector needs. This will be achieved by placing HEIs as “engaged” transformational actors of the country’s economic ecosystem (via quadruple helix-led responsible innovation coproduction and public-private impact investment), facilitating youth entrepreneurship, boosting STEAM skills and triggering ecosystem development (clusters synergies) that fully integrate vulnerable communities as well as remote & rural areas.
The project coordinator is the University of Lodz (Poland), and the consortium members are: Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (Germany), TUM International GmbH (TUMint) - Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany, Kutaisi International University (Georgia), Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (Georgia), and Gori State University (Georgia).
