Salford Business School, part of the University of Salford, and the State University of Trade and Economics (SUTE), Kyiv, are celebrating a fantastic year of special partnership
General Information
Twinned together under the UK-Ukraine Twinning Project, which was established in 2022 in response to the Russia-Ukraine war, the two universities have seen a real benefit to working collaboratively across international borders in a way that has been beneficial for students studying in both the UK and Ukraine.
Established in 1959 and situated in the Ukrainian capital, SUTE and Salford Business School share a similar ethos in terms of vision, subject disciplines and a focus on industry collaboration.
In 2023, a number of achievements were reached by the two universities by working in partnership. In October 2023, the SUTE-Salford Panel Discussion series project was launched, allowing students and staff to come together and learn from each other while discussing topics of mutual interest. The first three sessions were led by Salford on topics chosen by SUTE, with the following three sessions led by SUTE on topics chosen by Salford.
The Learning and Teaching Enhancement Centre (LTEC), part of the University of Salford, also provided educational guidance resources to SUTE, helping them to move their focus towards a European-model academic system, in line with the institution’s strategic aims.
Furthermore, the two universities have been preparing joint research funding bids during 2023, and sharing opportunities to present at conferences.
