EU-Ukraine Youth and Education Conference in Ternopil

As part of Europe Day in Ternopil, the Delegation of the European Commission to Ukraine with the support of Ternopil National Economic University and Ternopil Oblast Administration has organised a conference on Education and Youth. The conference aimed to introduce EU-funded projects in the field of education such as TEMPUS and provide more information on EU stipends and grants available to Ukrainian students (Erasmus Mundus). There were also resentations by Germany and the Netherlands on their national programmes and a session devoted to the EU-funded Youth in Action programme which provides funding to Ukrainian youth organisations for exchanges with their EU counterparts.
