Roberto Canessa se encontrou com estudantes estrangeiros que estão na UFG beneficiados pelo Monesia, e com estudantes da casa que já fizeram intercâmbio por meio de algum projeto do programa Erasmus Mundus. Para o consultor, é de fundamental importância ouvir a opinião dos beneficiados, já que é por intermédio dessas opiniões que são melhoradas as condições dos projetos. Tópicos como pagamento das bolsas, ajudas de custo com passagens, seguro-saúde, foram discutidos durante a reunião. A avaliação de Canessa na UFG foi positiva, uma vez que a maioria dos estudantes elogiou o gerenciamento dos projetos.
