An important aspect of the meeting was the decision of the project consortium for some changes in the project, which was written 2 years ago and did not take into account changes of recent years, which could affect the project. In this regard, the consortium has prepared an official letter to the European Commission, which contains the whole list of additions and changes developed by the participants of the meeting.

In addition to working on the project, all participants had the opportunity to establish bilateral cooperation in the sphere of their interests, which may likely to create additional positive effects for the project and for Uzbek universities.

Particularly intensive was the discussion of the choice of laboratory equipment for the universities of Uzbekistan. Therefore the project participants chose experts for the international tender for the selection of equipment for laboratory rehabilitation.

In General, the Uzbek partners are very adequately presented their organizations and have demonstrated their expertise in new technologies and in relation to rehabilitation. The project consortium agreed to hold the next regular meeting in Uzbekistan on the basis of two partners RSCCTR and the Nukus branch of TPMI.
