in the face of the tragic events that have cast a shadow over the academic reality, on behalf of the entire community of the University of Lodz, I would like to express my condolences, support and sympathy.
We join you in disbelief and sadness, as well as in opposition to any violence in the university space. We are united by the vision of the Academy as safe, free from fear and hatred. In such moments, we are especially reminded of how important solidarity, caring for each other and shared responsibility for the academic community are.
We share the pain of loss with you. Our thoughts are with the Victim’s loved ones and the entire community of the University of Warsaw.
With deepest sympathy,
Prof. Rafał Matera,
Rector of the University of Lodz
with the Rector’s Board
and the entire community of the University of Lodz
