As the official representative of Ukraine in the European Union Research and Innovation Program Horizon 2020 at the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation - Configuration 'Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials', responsible for its monitoring of the implementation in Ukraine Mr. Oleg Shevchenko, Director of the Project Office of Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design, attended the events  organised by  EASME  and  the Programme Committee of Horizon 2020 in Brussels.

During the visit, Ukrainian delegates had the opportunity to participate plenary meetings and working sessions. The event organizers ensured the organization of bilateral meetings of the participants by offering online registration and appropriate places for negotiations. This allowed the Ukrainian delegation to conduct a series of meetings with representatives of different countries interested in cooperation with Ukrainian researchers in order to prepare joint project proposals. The research results of our university scientists also aroused the interest and a more detailed acquaintance with their achievements has been suggested.

On the last day of the visit, Ukrainian delegates took part in the 24th meeting of the Program Committee “Climate, Environment, Efficient Use of Resources and Raw Materials”, current problems and results of the implementation of project initiatives for the previous period have  discussed and the future steps were outlined. This was the first participation of the Ukrainian side in such meetings, which was highly appreciated by all those present who wished success to Ukrainian researchers.
