"e-U has been one of the most innovative initiatives, (…), to promote the use of technology into academia and is improving the flexibility and quality of learning among Portuguese universities. Intel (…) encourage UMIC to maintain their innovative spirit in order to accelerate the growth of the Information Society in Portugal“

Christian Morales, Vice President of Intel EMEA

"This is a very innovative project that acts as a seed to develop new competences in several society areas, from the younger to the older, and with impact in the short and long term”

Steve Ballmer, CEO Microsoft Corp.

Government Leaders Summit, Seattle, 19 May 2003

"Cisco considers Portugal's e-U initiative a landmark international reference. (…) The successful roll-out of e-U, over a short timeframe, across such a large number of universities is very impressive, as is the project's scale relative to the size of Portugal. This initiative demonstrates what foresight and engagement at the highest government levels can achieve. e-U has become a role model for the rest of Europe"

Robert Lloyd, President EMEA Operations, Cisco System
