The institutes are of inestimable value where political tensions threaten academic freedom, where scholars are under pressure, or where the burden of history makes dialogue difficult. The institutes were founded for this purpose, also in countries where Germany had waged a devastating war of annihilation. They are dedicated to research, the advancement of young scholars, and sharing of knowledge. The MWS institutes foster peaceful international cooperation in the humanities and social sciences. Consequently, the current situation hits us all the more,вЂќ says Hans van Ess, President of the MWS. All of our relations with our partners in the countries that host our institutes are characterized by mutual respect and trust. Our institutes have long served the humanities and social sciences in Germany and in their respective host countries as places of research, the development of academic qualifications, and international scholarly interaction. We are greatly concerned for those affected by these acts of war.

вЂњThe MWS and its employees worldwide are shocked by Russia's utterly unjustifiable attack on Ukraine. The Max Weber Foundation (MWS) is distressed by the military aggression against Ukraine and expresses its support for scholarship and the people of the country.
