International Recognition for SANGU Psychology Program Heads

The Heads of the Bachelor’s and Master’s Programs in Psychology at St. Andrew the First-Called Georgian University of the Patriarchate of Georgia, Prof. Dimitri Nadirashvili and Prof. Tea Gogotishvili, participated in the international scientific conference “Open Science HUB 2025”, where they were awarded the Edoardo Giusti Award for Outstanding Contribution to Psychotherapy Research.

Open Science HUB 2025 is an international scientific platform supported by the Order of Psychologists of the Campania Region and organized by the Phenomena HUB APS Association. The project aims to promote transparency, knowledge sharing, and the development of research activities in line with the principles of open science.

The event consisted of two main stages:

• On November 7, an online session was held featuring presentations by more than 150 international researchers.
• On November 8, the main scientific day took place at Palazzo Criscuolo in Torre Annunziata, Italy, where Professors Nadirashvili and Gogotishvili delivered a joint presentation entitled “Gestalt Therapy – From the Art of Phenomenology to Scientific Research.”

The award was personally presented by Edoardo Giusti’s wife, while the symbolic prize — a work inspired by the colorful fireworks of Mount Vesuvius — was created by the distinguished Italian artist and cinematographer Mario Amura.

SANGU warmly congratulates Professors Dimitri Nadirashvili and Tea Gogotishvili on their outstanding achievement, international recognition, and for representing the university with excellence on the global academic stage.
