U-Multirank is committed to the values of peaceful international exchange and cooperation, and strongly condemns the war against Ukraine. We know that many Russian people, inside and outside higher education, share the same values and are against the aggression. With dismay we see the official statement by the Russian Rector’s Union which supports the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation. The Russian universities will remain suspended in U-Multirank until they again share in the core values of the European higher education area.
