Science and research are more international today than ever before. That is why our chair pursues a strategy aiming at establishing international and intercultural collaboration in research and the creation of personal and institutional networks. In this context, we are happy to welcome Dr. Tengiz Taktakishvili from Georgia as visiting researcher at our chair. He will support our team within the scope of the Joint Rustaveli-DAAD-fellowship programme for four months. Mr. Taktakishvili got a Ph.D. in economics from the Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University. His research is dedicated to the analysis of price support policy for grapes in Georgia.
