As part of the Erasmus+ Academic Mobility Program, Dr. Maka Sabashvili, Associate Professor at the School of Health Sciences, represented the University of Georgia during an academic visit to Kaunas University in Lithuania.

This academic exchange, supported by the Erasmus+ partnership agreement, focused on strengthening international academic cooperation, health science education, and faculty development.

During her visit, Dr. Sabashvili delivered a lecture titled “Epidemiology of Oral Diseases,” attended by both local and international students. In addition to the lecture, she engaged in key academic activities, including:

• Meetings with professors from the Faculty of Dentistry at Kaunas University
• Exploration of future joint research collaborations
• Simulation-based training workshops and seminars
• A professional visit to the Kaunas Medical Center

This mobility project lays the groundwork for expanded global research, student exchanges, and long-term academic partnerships between the University of Georgia and leading European institutions.

Why This Matters for Future Students:
Through Erasmus+ collaborations, students and faculty at the University of Georgia gain access to international academic experiences, research partnerships, and cross-border learning opportunities—essential advantages in today’s global job market.
