Student Research Working Groups within the International Relations and Political Science Programs

Security and Defense Studies Research Working Group

Research Topics (available for registration):

• Universal Conscription – A Real Solution?

• Defense Challenges and Future Outlook

• Military-Technical Innovations and the Georgian Context

Within these permanent working groups, students are given a valuable opportunity to participate in collaborative research processes aligned with their interests. Through these activities, they refine practical skills in academic research and analysis and, in an interactive, collaborative format, develop tangible outputs (e.g., research papers, reports, articles) that will be published or presented in appropriate academic formats.

Each working group is guided by assigned mentors who provide overall direction, coordinate ongoing work, and offer periodic feedback and content-related support to group members.
