Finally, some considerations were presented such as the ascertainment that the implementation of Reuni at UFMG, from 2008 to 2012, has occurred overcoming the expected difficulties and the confirmation that GIZ has met the current needs regarding the commitment undertaken by UFMG when accessing Reuni, with actions inherent to the new pedagogical-administrative management and lectures training measures.
