Ukraine war severely affects Academic life

Kiew, Ukraine , Foto:Coloubox Rector: Dialogue with the academic community remains important - fundraising campaign launched The ongoing military assault by Russian troops on Ukraine since 24 February 2022, which is in violation of international law, has severely affected academic life at Leipzig University. Students and staff members are bewildered and shocked. -We support all those who are working for an end to this war. Dialogue with the civil society remains important, including and especially with the academic community. I believe that it would be wrong to completely break off such relationships. We must keep all channels of communication open. Therefore, we pay great respect to the Russian academics who have opposed Putin in an open letter,- said Professor Beate Schücking, Rector of Leipzig University.
