Summing up the results of the meeting, European Commissioner Belen Ensico stressed that this is a pioneer project, the successful implementation of which has allowed Ukraine to continue the practice of Ukrainian universities participating in European competitions to receive financial support from the EU for educational and research projects.

Summarizing, the experts noted that all project tasks have been completed. The project has a positive impact not only at the institutional level, but also at the individual, regional and national levels. MoPED is coming to an end, and all project participants are still waiting for busy days - preparation of reports and external audit. We hope that the MoPED project team will overcome this stage successfully!
