Statement from <\/strong>the North Norwegian Academy of Sciences \u2013 Academia Borealis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adopted at the annual meeting, 28.03.2022<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The invasion of Ukraine
\n<\/strong>The North Norwegian Academy of Sciences \u2013 Academia Borealis \u2013 severely condemns Russia\u2019s brutal military attack on Ukraine. The great loss of human lives, the destruction of material resources, and the disrespect for Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty have all made a deep and lasting impression on the members of the Academy. Many of our Ukrainian colleagues and their families have become refugees in their own country. Universities and academic institutions in Ukraine are being demolished.<\/p>\n

We encourage all colleagues, national academies of sciences and international scientific bodies to resist political pressure and to protect academic freedom. We also encourage them to support the people of Ukraine and Ukrainian academic institutions in these times of war.<\/p>\n

Russian citizens in Norway are not to be held responsible for the war policy of the Russian government. Russian students and academic colleagues in Norway should still enjoy the right to study and work in a safe and peaceful environment in our country.<\/p>\n
