In his speech, the Rector of the Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University Viktor Greshta thanked the partners for their support within the framework of the previous DILLUGIS project, which allowed a significant number of students and teachers of the Polytechnic to join academic mobility and improve their qualifications. He emphasized that TANDEM-UA-DE opens a new stage of cooperation and will be a step towards creating an interdisciplinary program in digital technologies and management, which provides for double degrees for students from Ukraine and Germany.
