The problem of alternative energy is considered as one of the most actual problems. Solving of the problems concerning development of “pure” energy will favour solution of ecological issues of air basin of the cities and ensure realization of international commitments of the country. In this connection the project on obtaining of hydrogen from water with use of solar energy was selected.

Purity of the basin of the rivers of Georgia, especially transboundary rivers, is also important question. In that part of the activity of the fund the project on investigation of contamination level of transboundary rivers was selected.

The Life of Saint Nino “relating the history of the conversion of Georgia to Christianity, the   triumph of the faith of Christ and especially the glorious deeds of the holy woman Nino” (Rapp 1999: 85) is known from tenth century manuscripts. In fact, the   text   consist of different accounts created by various authors at different times, edited and brought together in a single compilation. Here it is attempted to retrace some textual parallels and differences between the Georgian   and Latin accounts. The comparison will reveal an early stratum of the saint’s legend which can be found in the accounts ascribed to a certain Sidonia.

Ketevan Hager:

Mister Edward, you are considered to be one of the firm and experienced politician of our period. You had to often leave political arena and then to return to it. In your opinion, how necessary and important is the existence of such fund in Georgia in the conditions of globalization?

Edward Shevardnadze:

Nowadays world is in the process of searching and introduction of new valuables. Termin “globalization” expresses constellation of these new principles and requests response from the mankind  on these challenges by conscience of the corresponding type. What response will we have on these requirements, such place we will have in development and formation of the future world. Any trial to avoid the principles of globalization with the reason of contradiction to this idea according to the protest or any other such sign (for example according to the national sign) is  doomed to failure.  Globalization is of choiceless character. It does not put questions. Globalization enters the life of each man, existence of every nation and leaves us the only one way for expression of own existence and personality – to suit to this universal principle if we want to survive.

Ketevan Hager:

What ideology the fund work is based on?

Mariam Tsatsanashvili:

Idea of sustainable development has not a long time history, but the necessity of its introduction acquires wider and wider scales.

“Mankind can make its own development sustainable and provide satisfaction of requirements of modernity without deprivation of similar possibilities for the future generation” –in 1987, these words of the chairman of World Commission of the Environmental Protection of U.N.O. – G. Kh. Bruntland –made the basis for the idea of sustainable development. In 1992 there was created moral-political and legal act of the principles of peace, which at that time was signed by the world’s 179 countries. Then there was the carta of Olborg of 1994 – cities of Europe for sustainable development etc. Although the fact is that this idea of mankind rescue is in danger. The reason for this is that the system of adaptation of sustainable development with the reality is deficient, i.e. culture of sustainable development is not introduced even today. Compare with each other the development of cultural characteristics of separate states and military capasity – from one part, national characteristics in general economical development and from other part – geopolitical interests, and it will become clear that the idea of world’s rescue is in quick introduction of the culture of sustainable development and formation of new strategic vision.
