ACT established scholarship for four students of Sociology and Public Relations at Ilia State University Georgia during the 2017-2018 spring-fall semester. The awarding ceremony of the selected students was held on Friday, March 31 in “Ligamus”.
This initiative on the part of ACT sets an important precedent for a private company-public university cooperation. Within the framework of the cooperation, in addition to a scholarship, the improvement of professional skills development components and internships within the sociology and public relations programs is planned. This will serve as a step ahead for the University in meeting the obligations undertaken under “The Document on the Standards on Ensuring the Quality of High Education in Europe”.
This significant project was realized with the aid of our partner companies. Thank you for your cooperation! For ACT, as the leader of the Georgian research market, it is extremely important to promote the field and thus continues its care for education.

The comprehensive nation-wide research of citizen satisfaction with public services in Georgia was commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Swiss Cooperation Office (SCO) for the South Caucasus and Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) and carried out by the Georgian research company ACT in November 2015.
The study is based on interviews with 3800 citizens of Georgia over the age of 18 in all regions of Georgia. It examines public views about the services that are currently provided by municipalities and central government, provides comparative analysis with the similar study conducted in 2013, and includes recommendations for local authorities based on the perceptions and expectations of citizens.
A full report of the study will be available at the UNDP Georgia website: www.ge.undp.org
The research is part of a wider programme supported by UNDP, Swiss Cooperation Office (SCO) for the South Caucasus and Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) to assist self-governance reform in Georgia.
