Georgia to become an associate member of the European Organization for Nuclear Research

Minister of Education and Science of Georgia Mikheil Chkhenkeli and Chairperson of the Committee on Education, Science and Culture Mariam Jashi met with prominent Georgian scientists working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN, Switzerland).

The meeting focused on Georgia's issue of associate membership in CERN, which, according to Mikheil Chkhenkeli, will be a tremendously significant event both for the development of science and for students. Specifically, our scientists will be able to participate on behalf of Georgia in the scientific-research process underway at CERN, while our master's and doctoral students will have the opportunity to continue their research activities there.

As is known, CERN is the largest laboratory where numerous experiments in high-energy physics are conducted. Every piece of work carried out under the auspices of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is of international importance, and the participation of our scientists therein on behalf of Georgia will further enhance the country's scientific potential.
