Thank you very much for sending the document with links from my visit. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to come and visit the Lesya Ukrainka Eastern European National University. It was a great pleasure to see how active you are and how many things you personnaly are proactively taking up from the ATHENA project. I got a very good impression of your activities, your vision and aims.
I was delighted to take part in the diploma ceremony and speaking to your senate and discussing so many things with you and your staff. You have a great team and I would like to thank both Larissa for her great engagement in the ATHENA project and excellent coordination as well as Anna, who has done a brilliant job in her first mission as a vice rector. I had the opportunity to further discuss with her again the strategy and your plans in more detail and I think you have made a very good decision to trust her with this mission. She has a very good strategic understanding and I am sure she will make a great contribution to the further development of the university.
I am also very honoured to have received the medal of your university. I will certainly see this as an opportunity to further help with your aims of making more European connections or contribute with reflections on your strategic projects.
I am very much looking forward to seeing you in September in Brussels.
Best regards
Thomas Estermann
