Statement by the Executive Committee of the EPS about the current situation in the Middle-East

2nd November 2023

We remain convinced of the fundamental importance of the free exchange of scientific ideas, transcending national boundaries, as a key vector for the progress of civilization. This progress is hindered by acts of violence which the EPS will always oppose. Fostering peaceful international cooperation, EPS played a founding role in the SESAME facility where both Israel and Palestine are represented and it created Young Minds sections in Palestine (Bethlehem) and Israel (Jerusalem).

We stand with our colleagues of the Israeli Physical Society, a Member Society of the EPS, and extend our heartfelt support to our Palestinian colleagues suffering in these dark times.
