Lublin (Poland) within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme. Professor Jacek Baj,

Pharmacognosy and Associate Professor Agnieszka Grzegorczyk, Department of Pharmaceutical

Microbiology met Nino Kandelaki, TSMU Institutional Erasmus+ Coordinator, as well as

academic and administrative staff from the Faculties of Pharmacy and Medicine and

Stomatology (English-Language Programme). The meetings focused on reviewing the outcomes

of the long-standing partnership between the two universities, discussing opportunities for

academic mobility, exploring prospects for joint educational and research initiatives and

identifying new avenues for strengthening international cooperation.

The delegation also visited several departments of the Faculty of Pharmacy, where they were

introduced to the University's educational and research infrastructure, ongoing scientific projects,

and the strategic development priorities of the faculty. The guests toured the Experimental

Morphology and Anatomical Dissection Skills Centre, where they became acquainted with

modern teaching methods and the University's approach to practical anatomy education.

The discussions resulted in the identification of several priority areas for future collaboration,

including the implementation of joint research projects, the expansion of academic staff and

student mobility, participation in international grant initiatives, and the exchange of academic

expertise and best practices.
