Revaz Tabatadze, Associate Professor and Head of the MA Programs in Education Administration and Management at the University of Georgia, recently participated in one of Europe’s most esteemed academic events: the European Educational Research Association (EERA) Symposium, hosted by Chemnitz University of Technology.

Professor Tabatadze presented his research titled:
“The Challenges of Curriculum Development in the Occupied Territories: Lessons to be Studied.”
His work explores the complexities of educational policy and curriculum design in conflict-affected regions, offering fresh insights on resilience and innovation in education systems.

At the symposium, he engaged in in-depth academic dialogue with globally renowned scholars such as Marit Honerød Hoveid, Marian Nebelin, Maria Worf, Philip Adebahr-Maskow, Paul Standish, Sandra Jaworeck, Stefan Garsztecki, Volker Bank, Lisa Bugno, and others—establishing meaningful international academic connections.

In addition to his presentation, Professor Tabatadze held strategic meetings with leading educational science experts, many of whom are set to collaborate on the University of Georgia’s upcoming PhD program in Educational Sciences.

Why This Matters for Future Students:
Participation in international academic events like EERA reflects the University of Georgia’s global presence, commitment to education leadership, and ability to connect students with cutting-edge research, policy dialogue, and elite academic networks.
