14 Ukrainian higher education institutions took part in the second year of the Ukraine Higher Education Leadership Development Programme (2017-2018).

As part of the Programme, participants mastered the skills of individual leadership, effective communication and teamwork.

University teams worked on institutional change projects as well as developed and implemented a number of additional initiatives to improve their universities. Their dedication inspires university staff and students to act and lead change.

Participating teams have become "generators" of qualitative positive transformations that gather proactive enthusiasts of the university.

10 universities have used the given by the Programme opportunity to undertake a study visit to a UK university. They have established working contacts with UK counterparts as well as studied their best practices in university governance, teaching, research and student experience.
