In the same direction as the vote of the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday March 02, vote to reprimand Russia for invading Ukraine and demanded that Moscow stop fighting and withdraw its military forces (https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/03/1113152), EAEPE condemns the missile attack on the University of Karhkiv: https://twitter.com/YPYurchenko/status/1498961977280016389?t=Nm6Wp9LpsNBEM22NxdIXpQ&s=19

The Ukrainian and Russian academies have made huge contributions to our understanding of the world and to humanity itself. This is a brutal attack on this rich contribution. We have been contacted by our Ukrainian colleagues who are trapped in this hell. We invite all our colleagues to mobilize our scientific networks and our knowledge to support the population and to prepare the help and the reception of the refugees, collateral victims of this arm wrestling. Also if you are able to make a donation to please support Red Cross Ukraine (https://redcross.org.ua/en/2022/02/donate-to-support-the-ukrainian-red-cross-to-help-civilians-in-this-difficult-time-for-ukraine/ ) and/or to Caritas Ukraine (https://www.caritas.org/ukraine-appeal-22/).

EAEPE has long promoted collaboration and cooperation across Europe and beyond to encourage the sharing of ideas and promotion of better understanding among our academic colleagues. It is therefore with great sadness that we hear this morning of a state of war between Russia and Ukraine, two countries that have been close partners with EAEPE in the past.

EAEPE fully supports The National Economic Association in its statement to Stand in Solidarity with Those Who Are Protesting Anti-Black Racism and its Manifest Violence Against the Black Community. You can also endorse their statement here. EAEPE is a powerful proponent of pluralism that embraces diverse perspectives to interrogate the real world political economy of our times. Yet the representation of people of colour in our communities is very limited and many core assumptions in economics remain unchallenged. The “Black lives matter” movement should be the driver for change both in our academic societies and in economics more broadly. We commit ourselves to actions that will contribute to addressing racism and discrimination in higher education, increase the representation of people of colour in EAEPE’s communities, challenge white supremacy in its various forms in economics and contribute to the transformation of the curricula such that they incorporate issues of race and injustice in a systematic way. As a Council we welcome proposals in this direction and we look forward to working with communities of black economists.

Academic freedom in Hungary has suffered from significant attacks that have undermined the independence of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Hungarian universities are also not exempt from harassment by the government and have seen a decrease of state funds. “The aim of the government has been the destruction of the academy’s independence and self-government. This has taken place throughout the total reorganization of the network of research institutes that brings together approximately 5,000 researchers. “(Halmai, 2019). These blatant violations of academic freedom, which on paper is still part of the Hungarian Fundamental Law, are in direct conflict with membership of a Eu222ropean Union that is based on the values of fundamental rights. The EU has also failed to stop the forced departure of a globally respected academic institution from the country, and the undermining of the academic autonomy of the national universities and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

As an association that is firstly concerned with the promotion of pluralism in economic debates, EAEPE cannot be silent on this situation. We ask for vigilance in the dispersal of European funds that support the development of higher education. These must continue to encourage debates that are open and to embrace the breadth and richness of knowledge associated with Europe’s values of tolerance and respect

EAEPE asks its members to relay to all networks the critical situation of this country and supports our Hungarian colleagues in their effort to defend their fundamental values, freedoms, and pursuit of academic pluralism. To know more, please read:  Gabor Halmai (2019). “The End of academic freedom in Hungary”, Droit et Sociétés.
