Rheologica Acta - ESR Resolution on War and Scientific Research

The following resolution was adopted by the European Society of Rheology on March 13, 2022.

Science is based on the collaboration between scientists and research groups without distinction of Country, religion and race, on the attitude of sharing results and ideas among peers. All these principles are antithetical to war. The European community, whatever it may be, political or scientific, is founded on PEACE. The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian armed forces is contrary to international law.

The European Society of Rheology firmly condemns war.

The Vinogradov Society of Rheology (VSR) is temporarily suspended from the European Society of Rheology (ESR) until peace is restored. It is not intended to attribute any responsibility of war to the VSR members and therefore their individual memberships to the ESR remain active, as science is free, it makes people free and freedom promotes peace.
