The UK higher education sector has been vociferous in its response to the invasion of Ukraine.
There were statements made in support of the people and universities of Ukraine, and robust condemnation of Russia. Sanctions followed shortly after. Projects were paused and agreements were suspended. At UUKi, we wrote to the President of the Russian Union of Rectors (RUR) to suspend a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between our respective organisations. Hardship support was offered to students and funding provided for displaced researchers.
