The Nantes Institute for Advanced Studies, IAS, has been welcoming researchers from all over the world for more than ten years. The IAS opens up a space for encounter and dialogue where cultural and historical differences are the starting points of departure that bring a community of intellectuals to collectively construct knowledge and reflect on the great challenges that are facing humanity today, such as climate change, environmental challenges or armed conflicts.
The Institute's space of freedom does not only allow for the emergence of intellectual collaborations, but also of friendship, solidarity and sharing that extend far beyond the scientists' stay in Nantes.
At this very difficult time, when war is back in Europe and threatens millions of innocent people, the IAS and its Collegium Mundi - which brings together researchers who have stayed at the Institute since its creation - express their solidarity with the Ukrainian and Russian scientific community. We express our strongest condemnation of this aggression against Ukraine and we insist on the values of collaboration, dialogue, co-existence and fraternity that are woven through exchange and respect.
With this statement, the IAS, Nantes along with the Collegium Mundi would like to express its strongest support to the appeal of Russian scientists who have spoken out to condemn the war and the crimes against humanity. We are mobilized to support the efforts made by the Russian and Ukrainian scientific community against the current military aggression in Ukraine.
