Starting in 2025, the Business and Technology University will award research grants to academic staff through a competitive process. The purpose of the competition is to support BTU’s academic staff in their work in science, technology, and innovation, to improve the quality of research, and to advance BTU’s priority fields through support for internal institutional research projects. Funding under the competition can only be obtained through an open competitive process. The competition topic is innovation and digital transformation, encompassing BTU’s priority scientific fields: digital governance, education management, healthcare management, economics, artificial intelligence, green and renewable energy, digital marketing, business administration, cyber and civil security, and psychology. Eligible to participate in the competition are BTU-affiliated staff, as well as non-affiliated and/or invited staff who are not affiliated with any other higher education institution in Georgia. The material and technical base of BTU or of another legal entity/individual may be used to implement the project.
