Statement of solidarity
EENPS (Borut Trpin)
It is with great sadness that we note the start of the war in Ukraine. The East European Network for Philosophy of Science (EENPS) stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. We also stress our solidarity with the philosophers of science and the wider academic community in this country, and commit to offer them as much support as we can.
We are proud to have members from both Ukraine and Russia and we know that they are against the war. One of the central aims of the EENPS is to establish closer collaboration and exchange of knowledge between philosophers of science in the region, and the outbreak of a war goes against this central aim and our values. We therefore condemn every form of military aggression which will inevitably lead to suffering and loss of human lives, and hope for the much needed peace.

Dear Borut and other fellow network members,
thank you for this statement of solidarity, which I wholeheartedly support.
Let me use this opportunity to ask you about the following matter. Our Institute in Prague is considering creating a special stipend for Ukrainian scholars working in philosophy. As I unfortunately do not know any Ukrainian philosophers, I would appreciate information about Ukrainian colleagues working in philosophy of science, or in analytic philosophy more broadly, who might be interested in applying for this funding.
Kind regards,
Tomas Marvan

Today, Ukraine is facing a heartbreaking military attack – we hope that this will not last. The country is at the same time victim of humiliating Russian propaganda, aiming at its legitimacy and dignity, and rewriting its history.
We, philosophers who have devoted an important part of our professional life to the philosophy practised in Lviv, one of the most inspiring Ukrainian cities, would like to speak again about this unique intellectual heritage.
This meeting will reunite international experts in the philosophy done at the University of Lviv, in particular in the first 40 years of the twentieth century. We will talk about the school of thought founded by Kazimierz Twardowski, which gathered Ukrainians, Poles and Jews. A paradigmatic example of the culture of Mitteleuropa, this school was a modern, pluralistic space of languages and cultures, where the quest for truth and respectful dialogue were the fundamental values.
Join us to celebrate Ukraine and its thriving intellectual history.
Participants (the list is not final)
- Prof. Jan H. Wolenski, Jagiellonian University (Poland)
- Prof. Peter Simons, Trinity College Dublin (Ireland)
- Prof. Mathieu Marion, Université du Québec à Montréal (Canada)
- Dr. Anna C. Zielinska, Université de Lorraine à Nancy (France)

Dear Michal,
thank you for your question.
The form of the support will be discussed today at the meeting of
the Institute's board. A paralell program of support is debated at
the level of the Czech Academy as a whole. I will keep you all
posted about the details when they are announced.
Best wishes,
Tomas

Thank you, Borut.
Meanwhile, there is a new program launched by the Czech foundation Neuron.

Feel free to post it on the EENPS website.
The announcement is (so far) only in Czech, so here's automated translation:
"The Neuron Foundation for the Support of Science, its patrons
and IOCB Tech have teamed up to help young scientists who are
leaving Ukraine in the current situation and looking for a new
refuge in the Czech Republic. Each of the recipients of the
extraordinary grant will receive 200,000 CZK for the first costs
of accommodation and setting up facilities. /approx. 8000,- Euros,
T.M./
Conditions for the grant - a Ukrainian scientist can apply with
the help of a sponsor from a Czech research institution:
1) at least three years of work in a scientific institution based
in Ukraine
2) a declaration of no personal, official, property or any other
links to persons on the EU sanctions list published in connection
with the Russian aggression against Ukraine
3) a positive written statement from the Czech research
institution about the applicant's professional qualities and a
declaration that it takes patronage of the smooth integration of
the researcher - it will help with finding housing, concluding a
work contract and assisting with all other legal steps
To apply for an NF Neuron grant, please download and complete the
application form and send it to in...@nfneuron.cz.
The amount of the grant is 200,000 CZK per candidate, the amount

Below is information on the help that the University of Montenegro offers to our colleagues in Ukraine.
The University of Montenegro will provide living expenses for members of the academic community of Ukraine, including engagement at the University, in the capacity of visiting professors and researchers.
