â Included for all participants
European university alliances have been instrumental in supporting and engaging Ukrainian university partners, who have been remarkably resilient and adaptive in the face of a Russian full-scale war of aggression. Various ad hoc models and solutions have been found for cooperation between European university alliances and Ukrainian universities. This session will discuss potential long-term cooperation models suitable for Ukraine and other accession countries for a competitive and resilient Europe.
