Ukraine - UK Academic Mentorship Programme

Purpose of the mentoring scheme

Liverpool Hope University is pleased to support the Ukraine-UK Academic Mentorship Programme, an initiative led by Science for Ukraine-UK. The programme is designed to support Ukrainian academics in navigating the UK higher education system, with a strong focus on professional and career development.

The mentoring scheme aims to support Ukrainian colleagues with:

• Career planning, CV development and job applications
• Academic networking and professional profile building
• Understanding UK academic culture and expectations
• Academic writing and the publication process
• Identifying and securing UK research funding
• Promotion, career progression and long-term development

How the mentoring works

Participants will be matched with mentors who are at a comparable career stage and work within a related academic discipline. Mentoring will begin once a suitable match has been identified.

The scheme is managed through the PushFar platform, which provides tools for online communication, meeting scheduling and note-taking, enabling flexible and effective mentoring relationships.

Mentors and mentees are expected to meet at least once every two weeks for a minimum period of three months. All mentoring sessions will take place online.
