THU Professor Participates in TU Berlin International Alumni Workshop

Professor Nona Gelitashvili, Head of the International Relations Office at Tbilisi Humanitarian University (THU), participated in the international alumni workshop “Sharing Knowledge, Shaping Transformation: Transdisciplinarity in Professional Life and Everyday Practice”, organised by Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) in Berlin from 11 to 17 October 2026.

The aim of the workshop was to explore transdisciplinary approaches, knowledge sharing, and opportunities for connecting different professional and societal experiences. The programme included interactive workshops, practical activities, group discussions, and visits to urban development initiatives in Berlin.

During the workshop, participants addressed topics such as transformative learning, citizen participation, sustainable urban development, cooperation among different stakeholders, and the practical application of academic knowledge. Particular attention was given to the importance of cooperation between universities, businesses, students, and society.

The experience gained and practices shared are valuable for the development of both teaching and research activities and the work of the Business Lab at Tbilisi Humanitarian University, one of whose objectives is to bring academic knowledge closer to the actual needs of businesses. The workshop provided an important opportunity to reconnect with the international academic community, exchange experiences, and strengthen professional networks.
