Dialogue Across Divides on the War in Ukraine
We support the "dialogue across divides"
and the Pugwash declaration
seeking a world free of nuclear weapons
which reveived the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995.
We share the Pugwash aim to develop and support the use of scientific, evidence-based policymaking, focusing on areas where nuclear and and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) risks are present.
We share the Pugwash actions to facilitate track and creative discussions on ways to increase the security of all sides and promote policy development that is cooperative and forward-looking.

On February 24th 2022, the world witnessed the start of a war in Ukraine.
We have reached a crucial juncture for human civilization on the Earth, one which calls for efforts towards sustainable development, as the only possibility for lasting global prosperity.
As scientists and scholars, we wish to promote the values of dialogue, diplomacy and peace.
Our Academy wishes to express solidarity and support for all those who are affected and reaffirms its aim of using knowledge and education to unite people, nations and cultures towards a peaceful and sustainable future for all living species on our planet.
EURASC strongly supports our Ukraine Fellows and Academicians and demands an urgent peace dialogue as quickly as possible.
Against war and discrimination
We support and share the
Declaration of the Rector of Gran Sasso Science Institute
Against war and discrimination

Basic scientific activity has historically been open and inclusive, and has represented, even in difficult years, and still does, an extraordinary bridge between different countries and cultures.
We are, perhaps unconsciously, peacemakers.
This is why I also think that Russian students and researchers should not be the ones to pay the cost of a war for which they are certainly not responsible.
It would be wrong, for example, to stop collaborating or to remove their names from scientific publications in which they participate.
Science must remain open and inclusive and continue to educate new peacemakers".
L’attività scientifica di base è storicamente aperta e inclusiva, ha rappresentato anche in anni difficili, e ancora rappresenta, uno straordinario ponte tra paesi e culture diverse. Siamo, forse inconsapevolmente, operatori di pace. Per questo penso anche che non debbano essere gli studenti e i ricercatori russi a pagare il costo di una guerra di cui certamente non sono responsabili. Sarebbe sbagliato, ad esempio, smettere di collaborare o togliere i loro nomi dalle pubblicazioni scientifiche a cui partecipano. La scienza deve rimanere aperta e inclusiva e continuare a educare nuovi operatori di pace.
