Donors
ISET was founded in 2006 by a consortium of international donors and governments formed in response to a letter by the late Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Zhvania – just three weeks before his tragic death – to the World Bank President James Wolfensohn, in which he appealed for help in "creating Georgia's own capability to train young economists in modern economics as it is taught all over the world."Initial input from the World Bank, the Governments of Georgia and Germany, aswell as ongoing support of Tbilisi State University and international donors, including BP, the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Open Society Institute Higher Education Support Program, and the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida), have made Zhvania's dream a reality. In October 2006, the International School of Economics at Tbilisi State University (ISET) opened its doors to Georgian, Armenian and Azerbaijani students seeking to obtain world class economics education.
