Research Strategy

The Ilia State University Research Strategy is guided by the Law of Georgia on Higher Education, the ISU Charter, normative and administrative acts of Georgia, and ISU regulations. It seeks to underpin the development of ISU by promoting:

• successful, high-impact research;
• important research for the region and the country;
• research inspired by the University’s responsibility towards community development, including social responsibility.

Through the Research Strategy, the University develops a vision of strengthening its solid scientific directions, supporting important growing areas, developing open and responsible research practices, and introducing research innovations. As a result, high-quality research output will be created, which will be the basis of the University:

• Creating and maintaining the environment necessary for carrying out international-level research, supporting the University’s academic and scientific community, and actively involving students and young researchers in it;
• Developing research in less developed directions in Georgia;
• Supporting relevant research cooperation with local and foreign universities, national and international organisations, and businesses;
• Promoting research and growth of science communication channels.

The University’s Research Strategy is based on the University’s Strategy for 2024-2030 and shares the values, mission, and vision declared in it as the University’s priorities and most important goals for 2024-2030.
