Last year, a scientific journal titled *Scientia* was established on the academic basis of the National Centre of Manuscripts, and its first issue has already been published. This year, along with the second issue of the journal, an international scientific conference is planned. The focus of both the conference and the journal is the humanities.
The organizers of the conference are: the Korneli Kekelidze Georgian National Centre of Manuscripts, the Center for Humanitarian Research, and Tbilisi City Hall.
The aim of the conference is to once again highlight academic innovations and issues within the field of humanities, to emphasize the importance of these topics, and to foster discussions around them, thereby contributing to the development of the humanities in Georgia.
The conference will be held on November 25–26, 2021 in a hybrid format — considering the current epidemiological situation — both in the conference hall of the National Centre of Manuscripts and via the Zoom platform. Additionally, a collection of extended abstracts will be published and distributed to participants at the opening of the conference.
