About

The Student Conference of Caucasus Studies (SCCS) is an annual cross-disciplinary scientific forum for students at all academic levels that is organized by the Educational and Scientific Institute of Caucasology (Tbilisi State University, Faculty of Humanities).

Since its inception in 2022, SCCS has received positive feedback from both participants and attendees. The first conference, which took place on June 20-21, 2022, brought together students from Tbilisi State University and Sokhumi State University, both in-person and online. The event was a success and established a work format for future conferences.

Starting in 2023, SCCS became an international conference, bringing together participants from Tbilisi State University, Sokhumi State University, Azerbaijan State University of Culture and Arts, Chechen State University and Daghestan State University. The 2nd Student Conference of Caucasus Studies, which took place on May 27-28, 2023, was a great success.

The proceedings of the conference have been published digitally and are available for download. To obtain a copy, follow the link: studentconferenceofcaucasusstudies.blogspot.com/p/issues.html
