Kharkiv National Medical University, Ukraine

The second project focuses on online knowledge exchange events between NTU’s Department of Social Work, Care and Community and KhNMU’s Social Work team. The first event is planned to coincide with World Social Work Day in March 2025.

Professor Valerii Miasoiedov expressed gratitude for the opportunities and support, highlighting their importance to Ukraine during this challenging time. “Training in nursing, social work, prosthetics-orthotics, and rehabilitation are very important areas for Ukraine. We hope to expand cooperation into other areas. From our side, Kharkiv National Medical University is ready to share experience in providing medical, surgical and psychological assistance acquired during military operations,” said the KhNMU’s rector.

Both universities shared presentations on main areas of work and future collaboration plans after the online signing of the Memorandum of Understanding.

“British universities share their most important resource – knowledge and opportunities - so we gladly accepted the opportunity to sign a memorandum with NTU. Education remains the fundamental basis for the existence of humanity, which provides the development of higher education institutions,” said Dr Oksana Vasylieva, Head of the International Relations and Grant Work Office at Kharkiv National Medical University.

Future partnership plans include exploring joint research projects, organising collaborative events, and further facilitating international mobility for staff and students.
