EU Delegation in Georgia launches EU Alumni Network

The Delegation of the European Union to Georgia has marked 30 years of partnership at an event to launch the EU Alumni Network in Georgia.

The gathering, held on 12 December in Tbilisi, brought together a broad community of alumni.

EU Ambassador to Georgia Pawel Herczyński addressed the guests with a reflection on thirty years of solidarity — from the humanitarian assistance of the early 1990s to today’s wide-ranging cooperation encompassing economic integration, institutional reform, peacebuilding, and people-to-people exchanges.

“For thirty years, the European Union has been by Georgia’s side – in good times and bad times. We have made our choice: Georgia should be one of us. I encourage every Georgian to keep hope alive, because your future is in Europe – and we shall continue this journey together,” Herczyński said.

The establishment of the EU Alumni Network represents an important step in strengthening the human dimension of EU-Georgia relations, the EU Delegation to Georgia said in a press release.

“Bringing together former exchange participants, students, researchers, and professionals, the network aims to become a dynamic platform for sharing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and promoting the values that bind Georgia and the European Union,” the press release said.
