Solidarity with Ukraine

Statement of GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel

We are all deeply affected by the war against Ukraine and fully implement the guidelines of the federal ministry. However, we also recognise a special role of international science in building bridges for a peaceful future, do not want to discriminate against Russian and Belarusian scientists solely on the basis of their nationality, and feel committed to open, non-discriminatory science (https://council.science/what-we-do/freedoms-and-responsibilities-of-scientists/).
