Bombing of Karazin University in Kharkiv : France Universités condemns a crime against intelligence - March 24 2022:

By attacking a university at the risk of killing or injuring students, professors and researchers, Ukraine's vital forces, its youth and its future prospects are being deliberately harmed.

Beyond the revolting nature of such practices, we are reminded of our duty of solidarity, which is primarily the responsibility of all European universities and the various national conferences of higher education and research institutions. Firstly, in the repeated appeal to governments not to weaken their efforts to put an end to the murderous acts of violence that we have been witnessing for several weeks; secondly, in the duty to welcome students and their professors, to allow some to continue their programs, and others to carry out their work, as calmly as possible: this welcome is currently being mobilized by France Universités, along with the institutions, but also by groups of teacher-researchers and researchers all over the country. Today, in connection with the PAUSE program and the MenS network, French universities welcome hundreds of Ukrainian students, from Kharkiv and elsewhere.

Message of our European alliance ATHENA :


We, the 41 Alliances of European Universities, representing about 300 European Higher Education institutions, stand together and send our strongest solidarity to the Ukrainian people after Russian Government’s attack. We also strongly condemn the bombardment of Kharkiv National University. Our Alliances have been built on a shared vision of a welcoming and peaceful Europe: we urge all stakeholders to restore peace, democracy and respect of human rights in Ukraine.
Many of our Alliances have partners located in the Ukraine’s region: they have started to host Ukrainian refugees, including members of Ukrainian academic community. In solidarity, other Alliances’ partners are setting up mechanisms to support them (fund raising, supply of basic goods, scholarships, etc.).
True to the European values of human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, and human rights, our Alliances will remain inclusive to all students and academics and will continue to provide support to all who are affected by this tragic situation.rtes à tous les étudiants et universitaires et continueront à apporter leur soutien à tous ceux qui sont touchés par cette situation tragique.

In the dramatic circumstances in Ukraine, France Universités affirms its solidarity with the universities of Ukraine, which are privileged partners for French universities, particularly in the scope of the European University Association (EUA). Present in the European alliances, our Ukrainian teaching and research colleagues must be able to return as soon as possible to the conditions that allow them to carry out their teaching and research.

The French presidency of the European Union must also be an opportunity to mobilize all energies for the safety of students and, more broadly, for peace.

It is the responsibility of the universities of Europe to work so that reason and intelligence prevail.
