German Ministry of Education has suspended Georgian-German scientific cooperation, including student mobility, research, and Georgia’s participation in EU programs - Peter Fischer

26-02-2025 18:29

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany has halted the development of Georgian-German scientific cooperation, including student mobility, research, and Georgia’s participation in European Union programs, due to the restriction of academic freedom in Georgia and the suspension of its EU membership process, writes the German Ambassador to Georgia on X.

“The current funding allocated by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, nearly 1 million euros for Georgia, remains unchanged.

Additionally, this does not yet affect our scholarship programs, including the DAAD program, but Germany is closely monitoring all aspects of its relationship with Georgia with regret and is considering them”, - writes Peter Fischer.
