Partnerships with Ukraine
Partnerships with Ukraine
The University of Warwick stands with Ukraine during the current war with Russia, and will continue to do so in the post-war reconstruction period. We have established several long-term partnerships with Ukrainian universities, encompassing education and research activities across all three faculties, and we are continually working to maintain and develop these to ensure they are as impactful as possible. We are also open to new collaboration opportunities in Ukraine.

Our partnerships
Twinning partnership with NURE
The University of Warwick has entered into an official agreement with Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics (NURE) under the Twinning programme. In 2023, NURE and Warwick carried out a research collaboration with £178k of funding from UKRI, involving colleagues from Computer Science, WMG, and other departments. Since 2024, Warwick and NURE have run a dual MSc in Computer Science, with funding from Mosaik Education. We have also been delighted to welcome NURE students to the Warwick Summer School in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with funding support from the International Strategy & Relations team.
Summer School with Ukrainian Catholic University
Since 2023, Warwick has held an annual two-week summer school for 20 students from the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv. Each year, the programme is devised and facilitated by the departments of History and English, with financial support from the Institute of Advanced Study. 'I left the summer school with a wealth of additional knowledge,' said one participant, 'about literature, education, history, heritage, and the global context of the Russian-Ukrainian war.' See the showcase page for the 2023 event on the History website, and testimonials from the visiting students in articles published by the Ukrainian Catholic University in 2023 and 2025.
Leadership for Educational Transformation
Bo Kelestyn and Gwen van der Velden direct the Leadership for Educational Transformation programme in partnership with the Ukrainian Leadership Academy (ULA). Forty educators from Ukraine attended the programme in 2023-24, and described it as a ‘beacon of investment in Ukraine’s future’. An MoU was signed between Warwick, the ULA, and Ukraine’s Ministry of Education and Science. In 2025, a new version of the programme hosted 15 Ukrainian veterans: see the articles published by Warwick Business School and the department of Politics & International Studies.
