This session will examine how international partnerships with higher education systems in crisis, with the case of Ukraine, can generate reciprocal benefits for institutions and systems across Europe and beyond. Leaders from the UK, Ukraine and the European University Association will explore how cooperation strengthens resilience, expands opportunities for students and staff, supports recovery and reform, and contributes to long-term internationalisation. Participants will gain practical insights into designing partnerships that create shared value, diversify funding and advance the global social mission of universities.
