Dear EPSO Personal Members,
A similar mail was sent to Representatives and Supporting Scientists
In the last few days, we have witnessed the incomprehensible and unimaginable descend on Europe for the first time in more than 80 years:
an unprovoked, brutal, full-scale war on one of the European family of nations, Ukraine, and its people by its neighbour, the Russian
Federation. While violating several international treaties securing Ukraine’s border, it also violates international law.
We as scientists wish to contribute to building a better Europe and world. At this critical moment, our immediate goal it to do our best
to alleviate the suffering we are witnessing daily in Ukraine.
Concrete actions you as scientists can take:
o An international, grassroots
initiative is helping refugee scientists in finding a host lab abroad. One simply lists the relevant information in the online Google spreadsheet. It is getting a lot of traffic, so you may have to try several times, or at off-hours, to get your listing in. The
list:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jGFCqP2kj1ZAN6xy6EoRN1bozaggk9VEsbzYaIkkYcQ/htmlview#gid=0
o In the statement’s Annex we list further initiatives across Europe we will update in the coming days. Send us such information to add there.
