The main objectives of the PSF Specific Support to Georgia - to be implemented by the team of independent European R&I policy experts - will be to assist the Georgian government in identifying promising research fields, suggesting measures for narrowing the gap between research and industry/business, and developing a proposal for the performance-based funding of research organisations. These activities will provide Georgia with tailored-made expertise and concrete and operational advice supporting the implementation of some of the recommendations stemming from the recent policy-mix study.

An overview of the PSF’s specific support to Georgia
Despite solid economic development and a strong report card from the World Bank, Georgia faces a serious challenge as it looks for ways to improve its research and innovation performance. The Georgian Government turned to the EU’s Horizon 2020 Policy Support Facility to draw up a list of recommendations for revamping its science, technology and innovation system.
The final report of the PSF Specific Support to the Georgian government builds on the analysis done by the independent panel of experts, their discussions, and feedback from national stakeholders about the problems in the predefined focus areas. The experts’ policy messages are summarised around four groups of issues: Coordination, Concentration, Collaboration and Coherence.
This is the Georgian translation of the executive summary of the Final Report of the Specific Support to Georgia.
This background report provides an overview of the Georgian economy, an analysis of available statistics related to the research and innovation (R&I) system in Georgia, presents key players of the R&I system, and provides information on recent legislation and implementation measures.
