May 20 is International Academic #Freedom Day. No freedom means no science. No science means no future. Around the world, scholars face censorship, threats, and #repression for seeking the truth. #SCIENCE AT RISK stands with them — defending the right to think, speak, and discover freely.

We strongly condemn Russia’s designation of the German Council on Foreign Relations and Deutsche Welle as “undesirable organizations”.
This is an attack on independent research, #journalism, and cross-border dialogue. Academic and press #freedom are vital for #democracy and mustn't be restricted.

February 24. Three years of war, destruction, and loss. This war takes countless lives, turning cities into ruins and forcing millions to flee. But as long as some stand for knowledge and freedom, there is hope.
