This is the entire series of KOPMEP 2018 Management Upgrading events which have been prepared and can run according to the rundown and estimated time available. However, it does not rule out the possibility that there are still shortcomings regarding this event. Therefore, it is hoped that the KOPMEP Management Upgrading event in the following years can provide better activity innovations and provide optimal incentives to equip each new management of the Development Economics Student Cooperative.
