May 13-17, 2024 – Mobility at the University of Liechtenstein.
From 2017 to the present, students’ Erasmus mobility has been ongoing within the framework of successful and fruitful cooperation between the Faculty of Architecture of the Apollon Kutateladze Tbilisi State Academy of Arts—Faculty of Architecture and the Department of Architecture of the University of Liechtenstein. On May 13-17, the International Department of the Academy of Arts representative, Nestan Tsiklauri, was in Liechtenstein.
Over the years, students of the Art Academy participating in exchange programs have shown the best results in the international arena. From a practical point of view, the coordinator of the Faculty of Architecture was involved in the preparatory processes of the current RIBA accreditations for the undergraduate and graduate programs of the University of Liechtenstein. Within the framework of the visit, meetings were held with the rector of the university and the dean of the faculty, as well as with the intercultural group of students participating in exchange programs. Opportunities and priorities in different directions were discussed. Within the framework of the Erasmus week, future projects between the partner universities were planned.
