The Twinning Initiative: A Partnership Built for the Long Term<\/strong><\/p>\n

KSE\u2019s partnership with King\u2019s College London is built within the UK-Ukraine Twinning Initiative. It is a long-term, deep institutional collaboration covering education, research and international programmes.<\/p>\n

The Twinning Initiative emerged in 2022 as a response by UK universities to the full-scale invasion. It was launched and is coordinated by Cormack Consultancy Group, with the support of Universities UK International, the President\u2019s Fund of Ukraine for Education, Science and Sports, and Ukraine\u2019s Ministry of Education and Science. The idea is that each participating Ukrainian university is paired with a British partner that commits to supporting it for at least five years.<\/p>\n

The initiative aims to preserve the integrity of Ukraine\u2019s higher education system, prevent brain drain, and help universities emerge from the crisis with new resources, skills and international experience. The programme is also part of the UK-Ukraine \u201c100-Year Partnership\u201d, which identifies education and science as the foundation of Ukraine\u2019s long-term recovery and its integration into global academic networks.<\/p>\n

For KSE, taking part in the Twinning Initiative means that its cooperation with King\u2019s College London is built as a systematic strategic partnership with international backing. The five-year memorandum with a university ranked among the world\u2019s top 40 makes it possible to plan student exchanges, joint research, double degrees and participation in European programmes years ahead.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
