BRAMS Friends
The foundation of any relationship is built on friendship. When coworkers become friends, it can enhance the outcome of any project they are working on. Good relationships between team members not only increase the value of the final product but also make the research process more enjoyable. While it is important to have amiable colleagues in the workplace, it is crucial to have friends outside of it, too.
At BRAMS Institute, we value the people in our academic community who challenge and help us grow, even inadvertently. They shape our values and contribute to our continued development. A study conducted by Harvard even suggests that having friends can promote brain health. The friends we make at BRAMS Institute may come from different parts of the world, and some of them may have already passed away, but their legacies continue to inspire us.
We hold our dear friends in high regard and are proud to introduce them to you.

The veneration of people who have played significant roles in cultural, political, or any other aspects of life is a fundamental direction that institutions should strive towards. The concept of veneration of the dead is based on showing respect and appreciation for those who have left an important mark in history with their personal or professional actions.
The BRAMS Institute takes it as its obligation to remember the deceased who have had a fundamental role in British, American, and Georgian studies. It is fascinating how these three cultures have been brought astonishingly close to each other in any way. We also aim to introduce their names and life stories to the new generations.
The 12th-century Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli wisely said, "It will not hurt if we never forget our well-wishers" („არ-დავიწყება მოყვრისა აროდეს გვიზამს ზიანსა“). Therefore, we proudly recall the people closely connected to our mission, as they are the roots from which the BRAMS Institute grows further.
