Dear all,
There are many actions of solidarity and support for our colleagues from Ukraine. The COST Action cannot directly intervene, but we can promote existing actions, like the one organized in Poland, which proposes employment or scholarships for researchers and accommodation for them and their close families under the address mail.amu.pan@gmail.com.
If you have other proposals, please send them to us, so that we can advertise them.
STOP THE WAR !
