Solidarity with Ukraine: IWM follows Statement by the Alliance of Science Organisations in Germany
2 Mar 2022
As a research institute that is part of the Leibniz Association, the IWM fully endorses the statement made by the Alliance of Science Organisations in Germany and condemns Russia's belligerent attack on Ukraine, which violates international law.
Following the recommendations made in the statement, the IWM will suspend all academic cooperations with state institutions in Russia and will not initiate any new collaborations with Russian partners for the time being.
The IWM is aware of the far-reaching consequences of this decision. Individual solutions will be found to compensate for the negative impacts on affected reaerchers wherever possible.
Our solidarity goes out to the people in Ukraine as well as to our Russian cooperation partners and scholars who are themselves horrified at Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
