The second annual working meeting of the HEAL Erasmus+ Project сonsortium, which is coordinated by the European University was held from July 7 to 9, 2025, hosted by Akaki Tsereteli State University in Kutaisi, Georgia. During the meeting, consortium members reviewed the activities carried out during the first 18 months of the project, with particular focus on the development and revision of dentistry study courses planned within the project framework.
