The Twinning initiative has served as a vital lifeline for Ukraine’s higher education sector, fostering meaningful partnerships between Ukrainian and UK universities. As direct funding for managing the initiative has concluded, it is essential to ensure its sustainability and continuity. The creation of a Twinning Governance Board reflects a shared commitment to protecting and building upon this legacy.

This Board is established in the spirit of partnership, mutual accountability, and long-term impact. It will serve as a central structure to coordinate, guide, and support Twinning partnerships, ensuring they remain aligned with evolving needs and opportunities, particularly as Ukraine continues to recover and rebuild.
