Commenting on Russia's attack on Ukraine, Prof. Dr. h.c. Jutta Allmendinger, Ph.D., Prof. Dr. Michael Hintermüller, Prof. Dr. Ulrich Panne and Prof. Dr. Thomas Sommer, the four founding coordinators of Berlin Research 50 (BR50) say:
"We are shocked by Russia's unlawful invasion of Ukraine, a sovereign and independent member of the international community. Our thoughts and solidarity are with the people on the ground, especially those who are working for free science and cultural exchange in Ukraine and also in Russia. Science and research thrive on cross-border cooperation and international exchange. The aggression we are currently witnessing against a free country in Europe must be stopped. We call for an immediate end to Russian military action against Ukraine and for seeking dialogue instead of violence. In the spirit of international understanding, we support the statements of the Einstein Foundation Berlin and the German Rectors' Conference on the current situation."
