These ideas involve training of local staff, carrying out joint research, implementation of a joint doctoral program, the project on summer schools established in this region,” Sharvashidze said, adding that TSU Vocational Education Center will closely cooperate with Vani Archaeological Museum. In particular, museum employees will have an opportunity to undergo training and raise their qualifications through TSU’s vocational program.
