The Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany has halted the development of Georgian-German scientific cooperation, including student mobility, research, and Georgia's participation in European Union programs, due to the restriction of academic freedom in Georgia and the suspension of its EU membership process, writes Peter Fischer, the German Ambassador to Georgia, on the social platform X.
According to him, Georgians who have studied at German universities with German scholarships are well aware of this loss.
"The current funding allocated by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, nearly 1 million euros for Georgia, remains unchanged. Additionally, this does not yet affect our scholarship programs, including the DAAD program, but Germany is closely monitoring all aspects of its relationship with Georgia with regret and is considering them," writes Peter Fischer, the German Ambassador to Georgia.
