Ukrainian universities have had to overcome tremendous challenges to continue their mission while dealing with the invasion of their country. More than one and a half years after the beginning of the war, the situation remains dire, demanding the entire academic community to persist in working together. In this KEC session, Ukrainian Higher Education Institutions will share the current state of cooperation in the country and their institutions, highlighting their existing needs and ways in which other Higher Education Institutions can support them to continue their work.
