  • The Georgian National Academy of Sciences (GNAS) and Its First President
    The Georgian National Academy of Sciences (GNAS) and its First President On 10 February, 2011 70 years had passed since the establishment of the Georgian National Academy of Sciences, and 120 years since the birth of its First President, Academician Nikoloz Muskhelishvili. It is envisaged to mark these significant dates by convening International Scientific Conferences. It is common knowledge that the development of scholarly and creative thought in Georgia has a rich past, as reflected in the highly intensive and fruitful activity of the Georgian people in the field of spiritual culture. Many centuries ago, outstanding figures of Georgian culture created remarkable translations and original works at enlightenment and scholarly seats, as the Philosophical-Rhetorical School in Colchis (4th c.), Centres of spiritual culture in Palestine (5th c.), Syria (6th c.), Greece (10th –15th c.) and Bulgaria (11th c.). It was at these seats that the best representatives of our nation familiarized themselves with Christian, as well as Oriental culture, scholarship and literature, paving the way for setting up of world-famous Gelati and Iqalto Academies in Georgia. The existence of hearths of higher education in Georgia is attested in the 12th century (and even earlier). These hearths were centres resting on advanced Hellenistic traditions of the time, offering Eastern and Western philosophy covering all the principal spheres of progressive scholarship and education of the day and pointing to the stable statehood and high cultural level of this country. Old Georgian culture is an expression of Hellenistic culture – a symbiosis of East – West Cultures – the culture of a country lying at the crossroads of the East and West traditionally uniting in itself streams of Eastern and Western civilizations.

Tel: 90-258-296-1074. E-mail: [email protected] Received: September 17, 2018 Accepted: September 27, 2018 Online Published: September 28, 2018 doi:10.5430/ijhe.v7n5p97 URL: https://doi.org/10.5430/ijhe.v7n5p97 Abstract The moulds of masculinity and femininity determined by society are not only determinants of the way in which individuals behave in society, but also determinants of the production and distribution of the resources. The steady development of societies can be achieved when men and women have the equal power with equal opportunities and resources to shape their own lives and to contribute to their families, societies and countries. The internationally recognized indicators of aforesaid gender mainstreaming are the areas of Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment. In Turkey, even though the legal basis of equality of women and men in these areas have been strengthened through legislative regulations enforced, the need to overcome the obstacles women face when participating to social life as complete and equal individuals and taking all precautions for this is still ongoing. In this study, gender equality in the Turkish higher education system was examined. For this purpose, the schooling rates in higher education, employment rates and participation rates in decision making mechanisms in management of women were examined in the light of gender equality indicators.

Raukas was for a long time engaged in initiating and organizing annual interna- tional field symposiums, which are held to this day. A.
