Source of financing: Erasmus+ (Jean Monnet Modules).
Duration – 3 years.

Creation of an algorithm and a working web platform for graphematic studies

Creation of an algorithm and a working web platform for graphematic studies: within the framework of the project, a machine learning-based system for recognizing the period of graphic image creation and the texts placed on them is being developed, which automatically determines the real period of the created graphic image according to specific parameters. As a result of the project, an algorithm for graphematic research and a corresponding working web platform will be obtained. The project began in 2022 and will be finished in 2024.

Cyber Security and 5G League

Cyber Security and 5G League: The seasonal school project involved both local and international specialists – professors from 8 countries, namely Georgia, Ukraine, Spain, Italy, Romania, USA, Lithuania and France. Within the framework of the Cyber Security and 5G League, trainees studied the practical and scientific aspects of Cyber Security and 5G technologies. They had the opportunity to get practical knowledge from the leading international specialists in the field. Within the framework of the Cyber Security and 5G League, trainees studied the practical and scientific aspects of Cyber Security and 5G technologies. The project began in 2022 and was successfully completed at the same year.

5G networks security

5G networks security: In the framework PHDF-21-088 project solution was found that will overcome vulnerabilities (MITM, data leakage, design vulnerabilities) and found a new solution to minimize the risk of cyber attacks. Project supports creation of micro lab where the systems security flaws were reassessed and based on this assessment different approached were analyzed. More secure and efficient way of communication will be created. At the last stage, new secure design and function was created and implemented. That was be tested in local environment as well as discussed with international experts to continue working on the improvement of our design. The project began in 2021 and was successfully completed in 2022.

Empowering women in cyber security through EU experience – WISEC ACADEMY

Empowering women in cyber security through EU experience – WISEC ACADEMY

The primary objective of the project is to advance excellence in IT education for women, particularly in the areas of cybersecurity and data protection, enhance the quality of women’s education in Georgia using the EU’s best practices, and encourage communication between academia and society. Additionally, the project aims to raise women’s understanding of data protection in a broader social context. Within the framework of the WISEC Academy, a comprehensive intensive learning program will be organized for women from different segments (for students, general public, specialists with IT background/education) in the field of cyber security, based on the experience of the EU. Cybersecurity trainings will also be held for women from the regions to increase awareness of data security issues. The project began in 2023 and will be finished in 2026.
