Conferences in Kutaisi
In October 2019, two conferences were held in Kutaisi (Georgia), thematically related to transport issues. A delegation of the Faculty of Transport of the Silesian University of Technology took part in these conferences. These conferences were held under the auspices of Kutaisi State University named after Akaki Tsereteli. Silesian Technical University was a co-organizer of the 5th Georgian - Polish International Scientific Conference "Transport Bridge Europe - Asia". This conference, despite its name, has long become multinational. In particular, the reports of this conference were presented by scientists from Georgia, Poland, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Lithuania, Kazakhstan and Israel.

It was noted here that the development of new technical solutions for such people is a very important issue, since even in Kutaisi there are about 6800 people with varying degrees of disability.
