Discussion

This roundtable brings together senior leaders and policymakers from Ukraine and the UK to examine how university partnerships are driving resilience, reform, and renewal in Ukrainian higher education. Framed around the UK–Ukraine Twinning Initiative, the discussion will explore how initial acts of solidarity are evolving into sustainable, strategic collaborations that support institutional development, internationalisation, and the broader reconstruction of post-war Ukraine.
