The Ukrainian higher education sector as a whole is distinguished as the Winner 2022 of the EAIE Award for Vision and Leadership. The European Association for International Education (EAIE) aims to recognise and applaud the outstanding fortitude and resilience displayed by Ukrainian higher education institutions throughout the Russian government invasion and the conflict that continues to claim lives every day in Ukraine.
The award was announced at the 32nd Annual EAIE Conference and Exhibition that took place in Barcelona from 13–16 September.
