Following our statement on the Russian agressions in Ukraine, and aligned with our mission to encourage international collaboration and, scientific and cultural, exchange between physicists in Europe EPS YM is joining the Physics4Peace campaign initiated and led by The International Association of Physics Students (IAPS). Believing that a better future can be built on the ideals of free exchange of ideas, respect and mutual trust and understanding, we encourage all our members, and all scientists in Europe and beyond, to work towards a peaceful and open international community.
How can you help?
We aim to raise awareness about the role physicists have played in the past for peace efforts. It is important to have role models of physicists who have played in peace efforts and activism: Join the conversation on IAPS Instagram!
We provide an anonymous platform for affected students to share what they are going through anonymously. If you are a student in Ukraine or Russia, please share your views using this anonymous form and we will try our best to raise awareness and represent your issues : Fill the Anonymous Student Submission Form
We aim to collaborate with partner organizations and start a fundraising campaign for the global physics community to donate and help the relief efforts in Ukraine. We have already compiled a list of verified organizations for the fundraising.
We welcome the physics community to share posts in solidarity with the campaign hashtag (#physics4peace) and use the banner.
