We, the 41 Alliances of European Universities, representing about three hundred European higher education institutions, stand together and send our strongest solidarity to the Ukrainian people after the attack by the Russian Government. We also strongly condemn the bombardment in the National University of Kharkiv. Our alliances have been built on a shared vision of a welcoming and peaceful Europe: we urge all stakeholders to restore peace, democracy and respect of human rights in Ukraine.
Many of our alliances have partners located in the Ukraineʼs region: they have started to host Ukrainian refugees, including members of Ukrainian academic community. In solidarity, other alliancesʼ partners are setting up mechanisms to support them (fundraising, supply of basic goods, scholarships, etc.).
True to the European values of human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, and human rights, our Alliances will remain inclusive to all students and academics and will continue to provide support to all who are affected by this tragic situation.
