BOLOGNA HUB PEER SUPPORT

German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) with the financial support of Erasmus + is implementing a "Bologna Hub Peer Support" project. The main objective of the project is to foster the implementation of the Bologna key commitments at higher education institutions (HEIs) throughout the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Based on the individual needs of higher education institutions, the Bologna experts will provide tailor-made counseling during on-site visits at those institutions that apply for a Bologna expert peer support mission.

 

HEIs should have completed an application to participate in the project. 86 Higher Education Institutions from all over the EHEA applied for participation – around 30 institutions from Spain, France, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Austria, Albania, Georgia, the Ukraine, Estonia and Kazakhstan have eventually been selected. Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) is among the selected universities.

 

Based on the application prepared by TSU quality assurance service and further consultations, two main directions for collaboration have been identified. Namely, student-centered learning and internationalization. TSU will be supported by the University of Salzburg emeritus professor, EHEA expert from Austria, Ms. Gabriele Abermann. The detailed information about Prof. Abermann can be found on the following link.

 

The project encompasses two counseling visits. The first counseling visit took place on June 23 and 25, 2021 via the zoom platform. Prof. Abermann led workshops on student-centered learning and internationalization for TSU faculty and administration. The second counseling visit was held on June 27, 2022. This visit built upon the workshops conducted during the first counseling visit. Prof. Abermann conducted two face-to-face workshops on the same topics, however, this time the workshops were built around TSU needs. Workshop participants discussed what student-centered learning means for TSU and how it is implemented as well as what internationalization direction is appropriate for TSU and how to create an internationalization strategy and action plan.
