Georgia officially recognizes EPLO/ELGS’s academic titles

On October 16, 2024, the Agreement between the Government of Georgia and the EPLO was officially published in the Legislative Herald of Georgia. The Herald, a legal entity operating under the Ministry of Justice of Georgia, serves as the country’s official gazette, where laws and agreements are publicly announced.

The Agreement contains an important provision regarding academic qualifications. It states that the degrees and qualifications earned at EPLO-affiliated higher education institutions, including the European Law and Governance School (ELGS), will be recognized in Georgia as of November 1st, 2024, as equivalent to corresponding qualifications issued by Georgia’s Higher Educational Institutions.

This framework represents a significant step toward educational cooperation. After the official recognition from the Republic of Italy, Georgia also offers its support to the academic activities of the EPLO and its European Law and Governance School.
