The agreement makes City one of a growing coalition of higher education partners across the world showing solidarity and extending practical support to help Ukraine overcome the devastating consequences of war.

The initiative unites educational institutions from around the world in their support for Ukrainian students and academics as the conflict enters its third month.

“This MoU reflects our commitment to the reconstruction of Ukraine, embedding the values of democracy and learning that are a key bulwark against violence and oppression.”
The agreement follows the President’s statement on the war on Ukraine and a range of comment and analysis by City academics.
