Lancaster’s partnership with (DUT) was created through the Twin for Hope initiative. The twinning project’s impact has been analysed in by organisers, with Lancaster staff receiving a Certificate for Gratitude.

Twin for Hope was created by Universities UK International and Cormack Consultancy Group in 2022 to help partner UK and Ukraine universities following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. ?

A new progress report on the initiative shows that 105 universities have since been twinned through the project, with ?70 million generated for Ukrainian universities, and more than 50,000 students and staff directly engaged.

Many of the partnerships have developed long-term co-operation plans, with innovative programmes and targeted support helping Ukrainian universities move from crisis response to long-term renewal.

Chairman of Cormack Consultancy Group Charles Cormack said: “What began in 2022 as an urgent response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine has evolved into what is arguably the most successful mobilisation of UK universities to support colleagues in another country.”

Lancaster’s partnership with Dnipro

四虎影院 joined Twin for Hope to partner with Dnipro University of Technology.

Since 2022 the partnership has delivered research workshops on soil degradation and land restoration, created digital and in-person mobility opportunities for students, and funded fully-supported scholarships.

Researchers from Dnipro recently joined the annual Lancaster Education Conference 2025 online and plans for a visit to Lancaster in November for further knowledge exchange workshops.

The partnership has also provided mentorship on global profile-building, ensuring Ukrainian academia remains visible, connected and ready to lead.

Leading on the partnership at 四虎影院 is Global Engagement Manager Tania Hughes.

Alongside Ben Matthews, Associate Director Global Engagement, Tania recently received a certificate of appreciation from the Twinning Team at Cormack Consultancy Group.

She said: “Our partnership with Dnipro University of Technology is a testament to the power of collaboration in crisis: from joint soil research to digital mobility schemes and building academic reputation, we’re safeguarding Ukraine’s academic future and championing its rightful recognition on the world stage.”
