On April 29 at 18:00, a panel discussion on “EU Enlargement in the Era of Global Transformation: Opportunities and Challenges for Georgia” was held in Conference Hall G106 at Ilia State University.

The discussion focused on key topics such as:

• security and geopolitical arguments surrounding EU enlargement,
• the impact of global geopolitical shifts on the EU’s strategic vision,
• the implications of global transformations for Georgia, and
• Georgia’s positioning within the newly emerging geopolitical landscape.

The panel featured Professor Sonja Grimm from the University of Würzburg, alongside professors from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Ilia State University: Giorgi Gvalia, Nino Pavlenishvili, and Archil Abashidze. The discussion was moderated by Professor Davit Aprasidze from the same faculty.

The second part of the discussion followed a Q&A format, allowing the audience to both ask questions on topics of interest and share their own views.

The event was organized within the framework of the Horizon Europe project “EMBRACing changE: Overcoming obstacles and advancing democracy in the European Neighbourhood (EMBRACE)” in cooperation with the University of Würzburg (Germany).
