Twinning: a dedicated initiative to strengthen collaboration between Ukraine and UK is being launched
Information for Ukrainian universities!
Cormack Consultancy Group (CCG), with support from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, as well as UK and Ukraine Horizon Europe Offices, is launching a dedicated initiative to strengthen collaboration between Ukraine and UK on Horizon Europe projects. A new opportunity is a part of the United Kingdom’s ongoing support for Ukrainian universities through the Twinning Initiative, in the context of Russian aggression against Ukraine.
This programme is designed to help universities build strong international research partnerships through:
- Targeted matchmaking between researchers and institutions in the UK, Ukraine, and beyond
- Thematic webinars and virtual events focused on Horizon Europe opportunities
- Consortium-building and concept development labs to co-develop competitive proposals
- Stakeholder consultations and learning outputs that will inform future policy and enhance research capacity.
CCG warmly invites Ukrainian universities to register for the kick-off meeting, that will take place on October 16, 2025, 11 AM Ukraine time, and join this collaborative effort. The participation will help connect institutions’ researchers with new partners, strengthen proposals, and expand international engagement.
Please find here the Registration Link. After registration, CCG will share the link to the Teams session. Deadline for registration: October 14, 2025.
If you have any questions about the initiative, the registration process, would like to discuss this initiative further or explore how it can best support your institution’s priorities please don’t hesitate to contact Maryna@consultcormack.com
