ტემპელჰოფერ ფელდი ბერლინელების საყვარელი საზოგადოებრივი სარეკრეაციო სივრცეა. ტემპელჰოფერ ფელდი უბრალო პარკი როდია. ის არის პარკი, რომელიც აეროპორტის ადგილას გაშენდა. 2008 წელს, როდესაც თითქმის ნახევარსაუკუნოვანი ტემპელჰოფერის აეროპორტი დაიხურა, ბერლინმა ქალაქის ცენტრში, 386 ჰექტარზე (!) გადაჭიმული ღია სივრცე სარგებლობისთვის საზოგადოებას გადასცა.

On Tuesday, May 24, Dr. David Ubilava from the University of Sidney gave a presentation entitled "The El Niño Southern Oscillation and Economic Growth”.

Looking down from the famous cross-path of the Georgian Military Highway, you will notice a beautiful little lake that was not there six years ago. The lake is a small reservoir that supplies power to the 8 MW Aragvi HPP. On May 19, the ISET community and guests from professional circles in the energy sector heard the story behind this hydropower plant in a seminar entitled “Small Hydropower – what’s special about it and how to implement it?” delivered by Hanness Posch, a civil engineer and entrepreneur working on hydropower projects in Georgia.

Regulations in the energy sector are there in order to ensure improvements in efficiency and service quality. They are essential because many actors in the energy sector of any country are state companies and/or natural monopolies for which efficiency and quality of service are somewhat foreign concepts.

Supported by Norway’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ISET’s collaboration with the Norwegian School of Economics (Norges Handelshøyskole – NHH) started more than four years ago with regular faculty visits by some of the most senior NHH scholars, professors Einar Hope and Rognvaldur Hannesson. The main goal of the new 3-year phase, to be financed by the Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education (Senter for internasjonalisering av utdanning (SIU)), is to develop a dual degree program in energy and environmental economics.
