In a show of solidarity, chancellors, professors, administrators, and students from 50 UK universities have banded together to support Wuhan during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. \"We are keen to offer any assistance at all to support you at this time,\" stated Professor Anthony Forster, Vice-Chancellor at the University of Essex.
The significant presence of Chinese students in the UK highlights the importance of this support, with one in every three non-EU students in the UK being from China. Simon Bradbury, Pro Vice-Chancellor International at De Montfort University, emphasized, \"British universities have been watching the coronavirus with concern.\" This collective effort underscores the global connections within UK academic institutions and their commitment to assisting communities in need.
