Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (TSU) and Geoplant Ltd signed a Memorandum of Cooperation on May 31. The Memorandum was signed by Rector of TSU, Giorgi Sharvashidze and Director of Geoplant Ltd, Mikheil Chkuaseli.
Under the Memorandum, the sides committed themselves to cooperate in searching and storing the items of historical and cultural heritage and with museum value, replenishing the country’s national treasures, diversifying and presenting them to future generations. The Tbilisi State University and Geoplant will also cooperate in searching aphorisms from The Knight in the Panther’s Skin by Shota Rustaveli as well as their relevant translations and reproductions. Geoplant, in turn, expressed readiness to cooperate with TSU in achieving the goals and to transfer a part of money received from the sale of tea produced by the company to the bank account of Georgian University Society.
“Geoplant’s project “Gurieli from the country of Rustaveli” popularizes cultural heritage. The library of our university stores a unique collection of The Knight in the Panther’s Skin. Our professors are involved in the project. The products will soon be produced in German and Ukrainian languages; it is also planned to produce these products in Japanese and several languages of the countries of the Far East. First, it is a good example of how the university cooperates with business sector, future potential employers, and second, how business assists the university. Under the Memorandum, a part of amount received from sold collections will be spent for the needs of the university students,” Rector Giorgi Sharvashidze said.
“The project “Gurieli from the country of Rustaveli” has been expanded; we signed the Memorandum of Cooperation with Tbilisi State University. Presently, we are implementing the project in German and Ukrainian languages. The cooperation will continue until the project exists. The project is very important because a part of incomes received from its implementation will be transferred to the university development fund. I can say boldly that based on the Memorandum signed with TSU, the project “Gurieli from the country of Rustaveli” has moved to a new stage of development,” Director of Geoplant, Mikheil Chkuaseli said.
After signing the Memorandum, Mikheil Chkuaseli handed over an anniversary tea “Prince Gurieli” dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the First Democratic Republic of Georgia to Rector Giorgi Sharvashidze, Head of the TSU Institute of Ukrainian Studies, Otar Bakanidze and Head of the Rector’s Office and the Secretariat of the Academic Council, Mzekala Achaidze for their assistance in preparing the German and Ukrainian versions.
