Noteworthy that Georgian-German-Azerbaijani International Summer School with the participation of the Faculty of Economics and Business of Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Koblenz University of Applied Sciences and University of Azerbaijan has been established as a tradition and is being held alternately either in Tbilisi or in Baku. In 2017 and 2018, TSU hosted the summer school on a topic “Intercultural Management Competence.” In 2019, the summer school was held in Baku with the participation of TSU students. In 2020, it is being held online for the first time due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Next year, it is planned to uphold the tradition and further enhance the cooperation.
