Cooperation with Bangor University (United Kingdom), which began with the signing of a memorandum in October 2022, includes a number of joint initiatives, in particular the British Council Gender Equality Partnership \u201c3R SheLeader: Resilience, Resourcefulness, Results\u201d \u2014 a project aimed at advancing women\u2019s leadership in higher education. One of the tangible outcomes of this partnership was the involvement of Professor Christian Dunn and BBC producer Harrison Lewis in creating the documentary podcast \u201cScarred\u201d and conducting soil research in the region. This cooperation has already yielded noticeable results and is laying the foundation for a long-term partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1003\" height=\"708\" data-id=\"6510\" src=\"https:\/\/iro.khmnu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-5944-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iro.khmnu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-5944-1.png 1003w, https:\/\/iro.khmnu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-5944-1-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/iro.khmnu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-5944-1-768x542.png 768w, https:\/\/iro.khmnu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-5944-1-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1003px) 100vw, 1003px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-id=\"6511\" src=\"https:\/\/iro.khmnu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/j-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iro.khmnu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/j-2.png 640w, https:\/\/iro.khmnu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/j-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/iro.khmnu.edu.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/j-2-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For Khmelnytskyi National University, participation in such an important initiative as Twinning is of exceptional value.
