@mirandatedeshvili
I coordinate donor-funded research, innovation, and entrepreneurship initiatives across institutions and international partnerships.
What I'm looking for
I'm leading the innovation ecosystem, entrepreneurship initiatives, strategic partnerships, and knowledge-transfer activities at Caucasus International University.
Previously, I managed research support services and funding-development initiatives at European University and Central University of Europe. At the Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia, I managed competitive national research funding programmes, coordinated international grant evaluations, and prepared analytical reports and policy recommendations.
I've also coordinated the EURAXESS Georgia Network Startup Project, bringing stakeholders together through meetings, events, documentation, and reporting.
Across public institutions, international partners, and research communities, I build practical coordination processes that support capacity building, institutional development, and cross-sector collaboration between research and industry.
